Later witnesses enrich the text by incorporating clauses from the parallel account in Luke 6:27-28. If the clauses were originally present in Matthew’s account of the Sermon on the Mount, their omission in early representatives of the Alexandrian (a B), Western (it^k Irenaeus^lat Cyprian), Eastern (syr^{c, s}), and Egyptian (cop^{sa, bo}) witnesses would be entirely unaccountable. The divergence of readings among the added clauses likewise speaks against their originality.
