Luke 6:21-31
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
21Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22Blessed are you when the people hate you, and when they exclude you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man. 23Rejoice on that day and jump for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For their fathers used to treat the prophets the same way. 24But woe to you who are rich, for you are receiving your comfort in full. 25Woe to you who are well-fed now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. 26Woe to you when all the people speak well of you; for their fathers used to treat the false prophets the same way.
27But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28bless those who curse you, pray for those who are abusive to you.
29Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic from him either.
30Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.
31Treat people the same way you want them to treat you.
King James Version
Chapter 6
21Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 22Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. 24But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. 25Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. 26Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
27But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.
30Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

Chapter 6
21Blessed are you who are hungry now, because you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, because you will laugh. 22Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you, insult you, and slander your name as evil because of the Son of Man.
24But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your comfort.
25Woe to you who are now full, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who are now laughing, for you will mourn and weep.
26Woe to you when all people speak well of you, for this is the way their ancestors used 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,
28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
29If anyone hits you on the cheek, offer the other also. And if anyone takes away your coat, don't hold back your shirt either.
30Give to everyone who asks you, and from someone who takes your things, don't ask for them back.
31Just as you want others to do for you, do the same for them.
New Living Translation
22What blessings await you when people hate you and exclude you and mock you and curse you as evil because you follow the Son of Man.
23When that happens, be happy! Yes, leap for joy! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, their ancestors treated the ancient prophets that same way.
24'What sorrow awaits you who are rich, for you have your only happiness now.
25What sorrow awaits you who are fat and prosperous now, for a time of awful hunger awaits you. What sorrow awaits you who laugh now, for your laughing will turn to mourning and sorrow.
26What sorrow awaits you who are praised by the crowds, for their ancestors also praised false prophets.
27But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you.
28Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you.
29If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also.
30Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don’t try to get them back.
31Do to others as you would like them to do to you.
English Standard Version
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!
23Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets.
27“But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.
29To 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.
30Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back.
31And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
