An untitled poem of Jesus Christ from the Bible:
Luke 6:27-31 (New Revised Standard Version)
But I say to you that listen,
Love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you,
bless those who curse you,
pray for those who abuse you.
If anyone strikes you on the cheek,
offer the other also;
and from anyone who takes away your coat
do not withhold even your shirt.
Give to everyone who begs from you;
and if anyone takes away your goods,
do not ask for them again.
Do to others
as you would have them do to you.
The words of detective Lew Archer
in the novel Black Money (1966)
