Luke 6:35

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and [to] the evil.

But {G4133} love ye {G25} your {G5216} enemies {G2190}, and {G2532} do good {G15}, and {G2532} lend {G1155}, hoping {G560} for nothing {G3367} again {G560}; and {G2532} your {G5216} reward {G3408} shall be {G2071} great {G4183}, and {G2532} ye shall be {G2071} the children {G5207} of the Highest {G5310}: for {G3754} he {G846} is {G2076} kind {G5543} unto {G1909} the unthankful {G884} and {G2532} to the evil {G4190}.

But love your enemies, do good, and lend expecting nothing back! Your reward will be great, and you will be children of Ha`Elyon; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.

But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

But love your enemies, and do them good, and lend, never despairing; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of the Most High: for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
