And whosoever shall 42 [12]compel thee to go one mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour [_see Lev. 19:18; Deut. 23:6; 25:19_], and hate thine enemy: |Luke 6:27-30, 32-36 | 44 but I say unto you [_see Luke |27 But I say unto you which hear, 23:34_], Love your enemies, and| Love your enemies, do good to pray for them that persecute |28 them that hate you, bless them 45 you; that ye may be sons of | that curse you, pray for them your Father which is in heaven:|29 that despitefully use you. To for he maketh his sun to rise | him that smiteth thee on the on the evil and the good, and | _one_ cheek offer also the sendeth rain on the just and | other; and from him that taketh the unjust. | away thy cloke withhold not thy |30 coat also.
