OET (OET-LV) But I_am_saying to_you_all to_the ones hearing, be_loving the enemies of_you_all, be_doing well to_the ones hating you_all,
OET (OET-RV) “But I’ll tell all of you who’re listening: Love your enemies and be kind to those who hate you.
Note 1 topic: writing-participants
ἀλλὰ ὑμῖν λέγω τοῖς ἀκούουσιν
but ˱to˲_you_all ˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_the_‹ones› hearing
Jesus uses this phrase to broaden his audience to the entire crowd, beyond his disciples. At the same time, the phrase also calls everyone to focus their attention on what Jesus is about to say. It may be helpful to make this a separate sentence. Alternate translation: “Now I want all of you to listen carefully to this”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν, καλῶς ποιεῖτε τοῖς μισοῦσιν ὑμᾶς
/be/_loving the enemies ˱of˲_you_all well /be/_doing ˱to˲_the_‹ones› hating you_all
These two phrases mean similar things. Jesus is using repetition to emphasize the importance of what he is saying. You do not need to repeat both phrases in your translation if that would be confusing for your readers. However, there is a slight difference in meaning, and you could also choose to bring that out in your translation. The second phrase specifies in what way followers of Jesus are to love their enemies. They are to do this in a practical way by helping them. Alternate translation: “do good things for people even if they are hostile to you” or “show love to your enemies who hate you by doing things to help them”
6:27 love your enemies! People were commonly taught in the ancient world to love their family and friends and hate their enemies. Jesus announced a radical new ethic of loving even one’s enemies and overcoming evil through self-sacrificial love for others, not through violence and hatred (cp. Rom 12:14-21).
