Luke 6:27-44

²⁷But Y seie to you that heren, loue ye youre enemyes, do ye wel to hem that hatiden you;

²⁸blesse ye men that cursen you, preye ye for men that defamen you.

²⁹And to him that smytith thee on o cheeke, schewe also the tothir; and fro hym that takith awei fro thee a cloth, nyle thou forbede the coote.

³⁰And yyue to eche that axith thee, and if a man takith awei tho thingis that ben thine, axe thou not ayen.

³¹And as ye wolen that men do to you, do ye also to hem in lijk maner.

³²And if ye louen hem that louen you, what thanke is to you? for synful men louen men that louen hem.

³³And if ye don wel to hem that don wel to you, what grace is to you? synful men don this thing.

³⁴And if ye leenen to hem of whiche ye hopen to take ayen, what thanke is to you? for synful men leenen to synful men, to take ayen as myche.

³⁵Netheles loue ye youre enemyes, and do ye wel, and leene ye, hopinge no thing therof, and youre mede schal be myche, and ye schulen be the sones of the Heyest, for he is benygne on vnkynde men and yuele men.

³⁶Therfor be ye merciful, as youre fadir is merciful.

³⁷Nyle ye deme, and ye schulen not be demed. Nyle ye condempne, and ye schulen not be condempned; foryyue ye, and it schal be foryouun to you.

³⁸Yyue ye, and it schal be youun to you. Thei schulen yyue in to youre bosum a good mesure, and wel fillid, and schakun togidir, and ouerflowynge; for bi the same mesure, bi whiche ye meeten, it schal be metun `ayen to you.

³⁹And he seide to hem a liknesse, Whether the blynde may leede the blynde? ne fallen thei not bothe `in to the diche?

⁴⁰A disciple is not aboue the maistir; but eche schal be perfite, if he be as his maister.

⁴¹And what seest thou in thi brotheris iye a moot, but thou biholdist not a beem, that is in thin owne iye?

⁴²Or hou maist thou seie to thi brother, Brothir, suffre, Y schal caste out the moot of thin iye, and thou biholdist not a beem in thin owne iye? Ipocrite, first take out the beem of thin iye, and thanne thou schalt se to take the moot of thi brotheris iye.

⁴³It is not a good tree, that makith yuel fruytis, nether an yuel tree, that makith good fruytis;

⁴⁴for euery tre is knowun of his fruyt. And men gaderen not figus of thornes, nethir men gaderen a grape of a buysche of breris.
