Luke: 27-38

Luke: 27-38

²⁷ “But I say this to you who are listening: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

²⁸ bless those who curse you, pray for those who treat you badly.

²⁹ To anyone who slaps you on one cheek, present the other cheek as well; to anyone who takes your cloak from you, do not refuse your tunic.

³⁰ Give to everyone who asks you and do not ask for your property back from someone who takes it.

³¹ Treat others as you would like people to treat you.

³² If you love those who love you, what credit can you expect? Even sinners love those who love them.

³³ And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit can you expect? For even sinners do that much.

³⁴ And if you lend to those from whom you hope to get money back, what credit can you expect? Even sinners lend to sinners to get back the same amount.

³⁵ Instead, love your enemies and do good to them, and lend without any hope of return. You will have a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.

³⁶ ‘Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.

³⁷ Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven.

³⁸ Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing, will be put into your lap. For the measure you give will be the measure you get back.”

38 Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing, will be put into your lap. For the measure you give will be the measure you get back.”

³⁸ Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing, will be put into your lap. For the measure you give will be the measure you get back.”
