Luke 6:27-44

²⁷But to you that hear I say, Love your enemies; do good to those that hate you;

²⁸bless those that curse you; pray for those who use you despitefully.

²⁹To him that smites thee on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him that would take away thy garment, forbid not thy body-coat also.

³⁰To every one that asks of thee, give; and from him that takes away what is thine, ask it not back.

³¹And as ye wish that men should do to you, do ye also to them in like manner.

³²And if ye love those that love you, what thank is it to you? for even sinners love those that love them.

³³And if ye do good to those that do good to you, what thank is it to you? for even sinners do the same.

³⁴And if ye lend to those from whom ye hope to receive, what thank is it to you? for even sinners lend to sinners that they may receive the like.

³⁵But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return, and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest; for he is good to the unthankful and wicked.

³⁶Be ye therefore merciful, even as your Father also is merciful.

³⁷And judge not, and ye shall not be judged; condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned. Remit, and it shall be remitted to you.

³⁸Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall be given into your bosom: for with the same measure with which ye mete it shall be measured to you again.

³⁹And he spoke also a parable to them: Can a blind man lead a blind man? shall not both fall into the ditch?

⁴⁰The disciple is not above his teacher, but every one that is perfected shall be as his teacher.

⁴¹But why lookest thou on the mote which is in the eye of thy brother, but perceivest not the beam which is in thine own eye?

⁴²or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, allow me, I will cast out the mote that is in thine eye, thyself not seeing the beam that is in thine eye? Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then thou shalt see clear to cast out the mote which is in the eye of thy brother.

⁴³For there is no good tree which produces corrupt fruit, nor a corrupt tree which produces good fruit;

⁴⁴for every tree is known by its own fruit, for figs are not gathered from thorns, nor grapes vintaged from a bramble.
