Luke 6:27 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 6:27

25 ^aWoe to you who are full,
For you shall hunger.
^bWoe to you who laugh now,
For you shall mourn and ^cweep.

26 ^aWoe¹ to you when all men speak well of you,
For so did their fathers to the false prophets.

Love Your Enemies

27 ^a“But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28 ^abless those who curse you, and ^bpray for those who spitefully use you.

29 ^aTo him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. ^bAnd from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either.

30 ^aGive to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.

31 ^aAnd just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

32 ^a“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.

34 ^aAnd if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.

35 But ^alove your enemies, ^bdo good, and ^clend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and ^dyou will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.

36 ^aTherefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.
