Love Your Enemies

27 “But I say to you who hear, ^bLove your enemies, ^cdo good to those who hate you, 28 ^dbless those who curse you, ^epray for those who abuse you. 29 ^fTo one who ^gstrikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic ^{▼▼Greek chiton, a long garment worn under the cloak next to the skin} either. 30 ⁱGive to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back.
