29 If someone slaps you on the cheek, offer the other one as well. If someone takes your coat, don’t withhold your shirt either.
30 Give to everyone who asks and don’t demand your things back from those who take them.
31 Treat people in the same way that you want them to treat you.
32 “If you love those who love you, why should you be commended? Even sinners love those who love them.
33 If you do good to those who do good to you, why should you be commended? Even sinners do that.
34 If you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, why should you be commended? Even sinners lend to sinners expecting to be paid back in full.
35 Instead, love your enemies, do good, and lend expecting nothing in return. If you do, you will have a great reward. You will be acting the way children of the Most High act, for he is kind to ungrateful and wicked people.
