Luke 6:27-44

²⁷But I say to you who give ear to me, Have love for those who are against you, do good to those who have hate for you,

²⁸Give blessing to those who give you curses, say prayers for those who are cruel to you.

²⁹If a man gives you a blow on one side of your face, then let the other side be turned to him; from him who takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe.

³⁰Give to everyone who comes with a request, and if a man takes away your property, make no attempt to get it back again.

³¹Do to others as you would have them do to you.

³²If you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? for even sinners have love for those who have love for them.

³³And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is it to you? for even sinners do the same.

³⁴And if you let those have the use of your money, from whom you are hoping to get it back, what credit is it to you? even sinners do so to sinners, hoping to get back as much as they gave.

³⁵But be loving to those who are against you and do them good, and give them your money, not giving up hope, and your reward will be great and you will be the sons of the Most High: for he is kind to evil men, and to those who have hard hearts.

³⁶Be full of pity, even as your Father is full of pity.

³⁷Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged: do not give punishment to others, and you will not get punishment yourselves: make others free, and you will be made free:

³⁸Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again.

³⁹And he gave them teaching in the form of a story, saying, Is it possible for one blind man to be guide to another? will they not go falling together into a hole?

⁴⁰The disciple is not greater than his master, but everyone whose learning is complete will be like his master.

⁴¹And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye?

⁴²How will you say to your brother, Brother, let me take the grain of dust out of your eye, when you yourself do not see the bit of wood in your eye? O false one! first take the wood out of your eye and then you will see clearly to take the dust out of your brother's eye.

⁴³For no good tree gives bad fruit, and no bad tree gives good fruit.

⁴⁴For every tree is judged by its fruit. Men do not get figs from thorns, or grapes from blackberry plants.
