22 You are blessed when people hate you,when they exclude you, insult you,and slander your name as evil because of the Son of Man.
23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! Take note — your reward is great in heaven, for this is the way their ancestors used to treat the prophets.
24 But woe to you who are rich,for you have received your comfort.
25 Woe to you who are now full,for you will be hungry.Woe to you who are now laughing,for you will mourn and weep.
26 Woe to you when all people speak well of you,for this is the way their ancestorsused to treat the false prophets.
27 “But I say to you who listen: Love your enemies, do what is good to those who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
