22Happy are you, when men have hate for you, and put you away from among them and say angry words to you, turning away in disgust at your name, because of the Son of man.
23Be glad in that day, and be lifted up for joy, for your reward in heaven will be great: for their fathers did these same things to the prophets.
24But unhappy are you who have wealth: for you have been comforted now.
25Unhappy are you who are full of food now: for you will be in need. Unhappy are you who are laughing now: for you will be crying in sorrow.
26Unhappy are you when all men give you their approval: for so their fathers did to the false prophets.
27But I say to you who give ear to me, Have love for those who are against you, do good to those who have hate for you,
28Give blessing to those who give you curses, say prayers for those who are cruel to you.
