Luke 6:19-38 YLT and all the multitude were seeking to touch him, because power from him was going forth, and he was healing all. (20) And he, having lifted up his eyes to his disciples, said: `Happy the poor--because yours is the reign of God. (21) `Happy those hungering now--because ye shall be filled. `Happy those weeping now--because ye shall laugh. (22) `Happy are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach, and shall cast forth your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake-- (23) rejoice in that day, and leap, for lo, your reward is great in the heaven, for according to these things were their fathers doing to the prophets. (24) `But woe to you--the rich, because ye have got your comfort. (25) `Woe to you who have been filled--because ye shall hunger. `Woe to you who are laughing now--because ye shall mourn and weep. (26) `Woe to you when all men shall speak well of you--for according to these things were their fathers doing to false prophets. (27) `But I say to you who are hearing, Love your enemies, do good to those hating you, (28) bless those cursing you, and pray for those accusing you falsely; (29) and to him smiting thee upon the cheek, give also the other, and from him taking away from thee the mantle, also the coat thou mayest not keep back. (30) `And to every one who is asking of thee, be giving; and from him who is taking away thy goods, be not asking again; (31) and as ye wish that men may do to you, do ye also to them in like manner; (32) and--if ye love those loving you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful love those loving them; (33) and if ye do good to those doing good to you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful do the same; (34) and if ye lend to those of whom ye hope to receive back, what grace have ye? for also the sinful lend to sinners--that they may receive again as much. (35) `But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest, because He is kind unto the ungracious and evil; (36) be ye therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful. (37) `And judge not, and ye may not be judged; condemn not, and ye may not be condemned; release, and ye shall be released. (38) `Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed, and shaken, and running over, they shall give into your bosom; for with that measure with which ye measure, it shall be measured to you again.'

Luke 6:19-38 GNB All the people tried to touch him, for power was going out from him and healing them all. (20) Jesus looked at his disciples and said, "Happy are you poor; the Kingdom of God is yours! (21) "Happy are you who are hungry now; you will be filled! "Happy are you who weep now; you will laugh! (22) "Happy are you when people hate you, reject you, insult you, and say that you are evil, all because of the Son of Man! (23) Be glad when that happens and dance for joy, because a great reward is kept for you in heaven. For their ancestors did the very same things to the prophets. (24) "But how terrible for you who are rich now; you have had your easy life! (25) "How terrible for you who are full now; you will go hungry! "How terrible for you who laugh now; you will mourn and weep! (26) "How terrible when all people speak well of you; their ancestors said the very same things about the false prophets. (27) "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, (28) bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. (29) If anyone hits you on one cheek, let him hit the other one too; if someone takes your coat, let him have your shirt as well. (30) Give to everyone who asks you for something, and when someone takes what is yours, do not ask for it back. (31) Do for others just what you want them to do for you. (32) "If you love only the people who love you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners love those who love them! (33) And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners do that! (34) And if you lend only to those from whom you hope to get it back, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount! (35) No! Love your enemies and do good to them; lend and expect nothing back. You will then have a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God. For he is good to the ungrateful and the wicked. (36) Be merciful just as your Father is merciful. (37) "Do not judge others, and God will not judge you; do not condemn others, and God will not condemn you; forgive others, and God will forgive you. (38) Give to others, and God will give to you. Indeed, you will receive a full measure, a generous helping, poured into your hands---all that you can hold. The measure you use for others is the one that God will use for you."

Luke 6:19-38 ESV And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all. (20) And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. (21) "Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. "Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. (22) "Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! (23) Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets. (24) "But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. (25) "Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. "Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. (26) "Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets. (27) "But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, (28) bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. (29) To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. (30) Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. (31) And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. (32) "If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. (33) And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. (34) And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. (35) But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. (36) Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. (37) "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; (38) give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you."

Luke 6:19-38 ALT And the whole crowd was trying to be touching Him, because power was going out from Him, and He was healing [them] all. (20) And having lifted up His eyes to His disciples, He said: "Happy [are] the poor, because yours is the kingdom of God. (21) "Happy [are] the ones hungering now, because you will be filled. Happy [are] the ones weeping now, because you will laugh. (22) "Happy are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult [or, denounce] [you] and cast out [fig., scorn] your name as evil because of the Son of Humanity. (23) "Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For listen! Your reward [is] great in heaven, for according to these [things] [fig., in like manner] were their fathers doing to the prophets. (24) "Nevertheless, how horrible it will be to you, the rich, because you are receiving your comfort in full. (25) "How horrible it will be to you, the ones having been satisfied, because you will be hungry. How horrible it will be to you, the ones laughing now, because you will mourn and weep. (26) "How horrible it will be when people speak well of you, according to these [things] [fig., in like manner] were their fathers doing to false prophets. (27) "But I say to you, the ones hearing: Be loving your enemies. Be doing good to the ones hating you. (28) "Be blessing the ones cursing you. Be praying on behalf of the ones mistreating you. (29) "To the one striking you on the cheek, be offering also the other; and from the one taking away from you your cloak, do not refuse the tunic also. (30) "So be giving to every [one] asking of you, and stop demanding back from the one taking away your [belongings]. (31) "And just as you want that people shall be doing to you, you also be doing to them likewise. (32) "And if you love the ones loving you, what grace [fig., credit] is [it] to you? For even the sinful love the ones loving them. (33) "And if you are doing good to the ones doing good to you, what grace [fig., credit] is [it] to you? For even the sinful do the same. (34) "And if you are lending [to the ones] from whom you hope [or, expect] to receive back, what grace [fig., credit] is [that] to you? For even sinful [ones] lend to sinners so that they shall receive back the same [amount]. (35) "Nevertheless, be loving your enemies and be doing good and be lending, hoping for [or, expecting] nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons [and daughters] of [the] Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and evil. (36) "Therefore, continue becoming merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. (37) "And stop judging, and by no means shall you be judged. Stop condemning, and by no means shall you be condemned. Be forgiving, and you will be forgiven. (38) "Be giving, and it will be given to you—good measure, having been pressed down and shaken and running over, they will give into your bosom [or, lap]. For with the same measure with which you are measuring, it will be measured to you in return."
