SERMON ON THE PLAIN / LOVE OF ENEMIES

SERMON ON THE PLAIN
Luke 6:20-26

Luke
Chapter 6

20

^{10 11} And raising his eyes toward his disciples he said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours.

21

Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh.

22

Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man.

23

Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven. For their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way.

24

But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.

25

But woe to you who are filled now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will grieve and weep.

26

Woe to you when all speak well of you, for their ancestors treated the false prophets in this way.

LOVE OF ENEMIES
Luke 6:27-31

27

¹² “But to you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28

bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29

To the person who strikes you on one cheek, offer the other one as well, and from the person who takes your cloak, do not withhold even your tunic.

30

Give to everyone who asks of you, and from the one who takes what is yours do not demand it back.

31

Do to others as you would have them do to you.
