23
Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, For in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.
24
But woe to you who are rich, For you have received your consolation.
25
Woe to you who are full, For you shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, For you shall mourn and weep.
26
Woe to you when all men speak well of you, For so did their fathers to the false prophets.
27
"But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28
bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.
29
To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either.
30
Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.
31
And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.
32
But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
33
And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
