The teaching of Jesus in Luke 6:27, “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,” is arguably one of the most hard commands in all of scripture. When applied to the pain of defamation, of being maliciously attacked, of being slandered, or ridiculed, this verse calls us not to passive endurance, but to an active, counterintuitive response that defeats the enemy’s aim without compromising our own soul.
