²⁷ But I say unto you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you,

²⁸ bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you.

²⁹ To him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and from him that taketh away thy cloak withhold not thy coat also.

¹⁵ Matthew, whose other name was Levi; Thomas; another James, the son of Alpheus; Simon, who belonged to the party that encouraged people to rebel against the Roman government;

¹⁶ Judas, the son of another James; and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas from the town of Kerioth), the one who later ◄betrayed Jesus./enabled the Jewish leaders to seize Jesus.►

¹⁷ Jesus came down from the hills with his disciples and stood on a level area. There was a very big crowd of his disciples there. There was also a large group of people who had come from Jerusalem and from many other places in Judea district, and from the coastal areas near Tyre and Sidon cities.

¹⁸ They came to hear Jesus talk to them and to be healed {and for him to heal them} from their diseases. He also healed those whom evil spirits had troubled.

¹⁹ Everyone in the crowd tried to touch him, because he was healing everyone by his/God's power.

²⁰ He looked MTY at his disciples and said, “ God is pleased with you who know that you lack what he wants you to have; he will allow you to be the people whose lives he rules over.

²¹ God is pleased with you who sincerely desire to receive what MTY he wants you to have; he will give you what you need, until you are satisfied. God is pleased with you that grieve now because of sin. Later you will be joyful.

²² God is pleased with you when other people hate you, when they will not let you join them, when they insult you, when they say that you are evil because you believe in me, the one who came from heaven.

²³ When that happens, rejoice! Jump up and down because you are so happy! God will give you a great reward in heaven! When they do these things to you, it will prove that you are God's servants. (OR, People have always treated God's servants like that.) Do not forget that these people's ancestors did the same things to the prophets who served God faithfully!

²⁴ But there will be terrible punishment for you that are rich; the happiness you have received from your riches is the only happiness that you will get.

²⁵ There will be terrible punishment for you who think that you have all that you need now; you will realize that these things will not make you feel satisfied. There will be terrible punishment for you who are joyful now; you will later be very sad.

²⁶ When most HYP people speak well about you, trouble is ahead for you; it will not prove that you are God's servants, because your ancestors used to speak well about those who falsely claimed that they were prophets.”

²⁷ “But I say this to each of you disciples who are listening to what I say: Love your enemies as well as your friends. Do good things for those who hate you!

²⁸ Ask God to bless those who curse you! Pray for those who mistreat you!

²⁹ If someone insults one of you by striking you on one of your cheeks, turn your face so that he can strike the other cheek also. If a bandit wants to take away your (sg) coat, let him also have your shirt.

³⁰ Give something to everyone who asks you (sg) for something. If someone takes away things that belong to you (sg), do not ask him to return them.

²² Happy are you, when men have hate for you, and put you away from among them and say angry words to you, turning away in disgust at your name, because of the Son of man.

²³ Be glad in that day, and be lifted up for joy, for your reward in heaven will be great: for their fathers did these same things to the prophets.

²⁴ But unhappy are you who have wealth: for you have been comforted now.

²⁵ Unhappy are you who are full of food now: for you will be in need. Unhappy are you who are laughing now: for you will be crying in sorrow.

²⁶ Unhappy are you when all men give you their approval: for so their fathers did to the false prophets.

²⁸ Give blessing to those who give you curses, say prayers for those who are cruel to you.

²² How happy are you when people hate you, exclude you, insult you, and curse your name as evil because of me, the Son of man.

²⁴ But how sad are you who are rich, for you have already received your reward.

²⁵ How sad are you who are full now, for you will become hungry. How sad are you who laugh now, for you will mourn and cry.

²⁶ How sad are you when everyone praises you. Don't forget that their forefathers praised false prophets just like this.

²⁷ But I say to those of you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.

²⁸ Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you.

²⁹ If someone hits you on one cheek, turn the other cheek. If someone takes your coat, don't prevent them taking your shirt.
