Luke 6 Jesus declares who is happy and who is to be pitied, and defines a new attitude towards life 20 Then Jesus looked steadily at his disciples and said, “How happy are you who own nothing, for the kingdom of God is yours! 21 “How happy are you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied! “How happy are you who weep now, for you are going to laugh! 22-23 “How happy you are when men hate you and turn you out of their company; when they slander you and detest all that you stand for because you are loyal to the Son of Man. Be glad when that happens and jump for joy—your reward in Heaven is magnificent. For that is exactly how their fathers treated the prophets. 24 “But how miserable for you who are rich, for you have had all your comforts! 25 “How miserable for you who have all you want, for you are going to be hungry! “How miserable for you who are laughing now, for you will know sorrow and tears! 26 “How miserable for you when everybody says nice things about you, for that is exactly how their fathers treated the false prophets. 27-28 “But I say to all of you who will listen to me: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who treat you badly. 29a “As for the man who hits you on one cheek, offer him the other one as well! 29b-30 And if a man is taking away your coat, do not stop him from taking your shirt as well. Give to everyone who asks you, and when a man has taken what belongs to you, don’t demand it back.” This is in the Book of Luke
