The New Testament: Translated From the Original Greek, With Chronological Arrangement of the Sacred Books, and Improved Divisions of Chapters and Verses.
Bible. New Testament
2 [6:20]And he lifted up his eyes upon his disciples and said, Blessed
are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. [6:21]Blessed are you
that hunger now, for you shall be filled. Blessed are you that weep
now, for you shall laugh. [6:22]Blessed are you when men shall hate
you, and when they shall exclude you from their company, and reproach
and cast out your names as evil, on account of the Son of man.
[6:23]Rejoice in that day, and be exceedingly glad; for behold, your
reward is great in heaven. For in this manner did their fathers to the
prophets. [6:24]But woe to you rich! for you have your consolation.
[6:25]Woe to you full! for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh
now! for you shall mourn and weep. [6:26]Woe, when all men speak well
of you! for in this manner did their fathers of the false prophets.
3 [6:27]But I tell you that hear, Love your enemies; do good to those
that hate you; [6:28]bless those that curse you; pray for those that
injure you; [6:29] to him that strikes you on the cheek, present also
the other; and forbid not him who takes away your cloak to take your
coat also. [6:30]Give to every one that asks; and from him who takes
that which is yours, ask it not back. [6:31]And as you wish men to do
to you, do you also in like manner to them. [6:32]And if you love those
that love you, what thanks have you? for sinners also love those that
love them. [6:33]And if you do good to those who do good to you, what
thanks have you? for sinners do the same. [6:34]And if you lend to
those from whom you hope to receive, what thanks have you? sinners also
lend to sinners, to receive back as much again. [6:35]But love your
enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your
reward shall be great, and you shall be children of the Most High; for
he is good to the unthankful and evil. [6:36]Be merciful, as your
father is merciful; [6:37]and judge not, and you shall not be judged;
and condemn not, and you shall not be condemned; release, and you shall
be released; [6:38]give, and it shall be given to you; good measure,
pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your
bosom. For with what measure you measure it shall be measured back to
you.
