Love Your Enemies^(A)

^27 (B)“But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, ^28 (C)bless those who curse you, and ^(D)pray for those who spitefully use you. ^29 (E)To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. ^(F)And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. ^30 (G)Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. ^31 (H)And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

^32 (I)“But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. ³³ And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

^17 (A)Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, ^(B)with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
