6:27 “But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies, ¹  do good to those who hate you, 6:28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat ²  you. 6:29 To the person who strikes you on the cheek, ³  offer the other as well, ⁴  and from the person who takes away your coat, ⁵  do not withhold your tunic ⁶  either. ⁷  6:30 Give to everyone who asks you, ⁸  and do not ask for your possessions ⁹  back ¹⁰  from the person who takes them away. 6:31 Treat others ¹¹  in the same way that you would want them to treat you. ¹² 

6:32 “If ¹³  you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners ¹⁴  love those who love them. ¹⁵  6:33 And ¹⁶  if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even ¹⁷  sinners ¹⁸  do the same. 6:34 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to be repaid, ¹⁹  what credit is that to you? Even sinners ²⁰  lend to sinners, so that they may be repaid in full. ²¹  6:35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back. ²²  Then ²³  your reward will be great, and you will be sons ²⁴  of the Most High, ²⁵  because he is kind to ungrateful and evil people. ²⁶  6:36 Be merciful, ²⁷  just as your Father is merciful.
