27
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28
Bless
them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29
And unto him that smiteth
thee on the
one
cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not
to take
thy
coat also.
30
Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask
them
not again.
31
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32
For
if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33
And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even
the same.
34
And if ye lend
to them
of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners
also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend,
hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest:
for he is kind unto the unthankful and
to
the evil.
36
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also
is merciful.
37
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned:
forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed
down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same
measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
39
And he spake a parable unto
them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
40
The disciple is not
above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
41
And why beholdest thou
the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
42
Either
how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou
thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out
of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.
43
For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
44
For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble
bush gather they grapes.
45
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that
which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil:
for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
46
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47
Whosoever cometh
to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
48
He is like
a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood
arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon
a rock.
49
But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house
upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin
of that house was great.
