Scripture Text (NRSV)
Luke 6:27-31
6:27 "But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to
those who hate you,
6:28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.
6:29 If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and
from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt.
6:30 Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away
your goods, do not ask for them again.
6:31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
6:32 "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For
even sinners love those who love them.
6:33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that
to you? For even sinners do the same.
6:34 If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit
is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much
again.
6:35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in
return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the
Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.
6:36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
6:37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and
you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven;
6:38 give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down,
shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the
measure you give will be the measure you get back."
