Give to everyone who begs from you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again. And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them.
For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?
So I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.
