The Sermon on the Plain: Love for Enemies

The Sermon on the Plain: Love for Enemies

27“But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29To the one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from the one who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic also. 30Give to everyone who asks you, and from the one who takes away your things, do not ask for them back.[fn] 31And just as you want people to do[fn] to you, do the same[fn] to them.

32“And if you love those who love you, what kind of credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them! 33And if[fn] you do good to those who do good to you, what kind of credit is that to you? Even the sinners do the same! 34And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive back, what kind of credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, so that they may get back an equal amount! 35But love your enemies, and do good, and lend expecting back nothing, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful![fn]
