Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

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

And 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.

Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask {them} not again.
