Love Your Enemies

27 “But I say to you who hear, ^sLove your enemies, ^tdo good to those who hate you, 28 ^ubless those who curse you, ^spray for those who abuse you. 29 ^vTo one who ^wstrikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic¹ either.

35 But ^clove your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and ^dyou will be sons of ^ethe Most High, for ^fhe is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. 36 ^gBe merciful, even as ^hyour Father is merciful.
