bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To 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. Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not
demand them back. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. FootnotesLuke

even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what
credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. But love your
enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and
you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.

[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more
deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the
wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come
to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I

Romans 8:35-39 (AMPC)

Who shall ever separate us from Christ’s love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or

sheep for the slaughter. Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a
surpassing victory through Him Who loved us. For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that
neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor
things to come, nor powers, Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to
separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. FootnotesRomans
