25 Unhappy are you who are full of food now: for you will be in need. Unhappy are you who are laughing now: for you will be crying in sorrow.

26 Unhappy are you when all men give you their approval: for so their fathers did to the false prophets.

27 But I say to you who give ear to me, Have love for those who are against you, do good to those who have hate for you,

28 Give blessing to those who give you curses, say prayers for those who are cruel to you.

29 If a man gives you a blow on one side of your face, then let the other side be turned to him; from him who takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe.

30 Give to everyone who comes with a request, and if a man takes away your property, make no attempt to get it back again.

31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32 If you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? for even sinners have love for those who have love for them.

33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is it to you? for even sinners do the same.

34 And if you let those have the use of your money, from whom you are hoping to get it back, what credit is it to you? even sinners do so to sinners, hoping to get back as much as they gave.

35 But be loving to those who are against you and do them good, and give them your money, not giving up hope, and your reward will be great and you will be the sons of the Most High: for he is kind to evil men, and to those who have hard hearts.
