Luke 6:27-44

²⁷But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to them who hate you,

²⁸Bless them that curse you, and pray for them who despitefully use you.

²⁹And to him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke, forbid not to take thy coat also.

³⁰Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods, ask them not again.

³¹And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

³²For if ye love them who love you, what thanks have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.

³³And if ye do good to them who do good to you, what thanks have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

³⁴And if ye lend to them from whom ye hope to receive, what thanks have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much in return.

³⁵But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind to the unthankful and to the evil.

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

³⁷Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

³⁸Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye give to others , it shall be measured to you again.

³⁹And he spoke a parable to them; Can the blind lead the blind? will they not both fall into the ditch?

⁴⁰The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect, shall be as his master.

⁴¹And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thy own eye?

⁴²Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thy eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thy own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thy own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

⁴³For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

⁴⁴For every tree is known by its own fruit: for from thorns men do not gather figs, nor from a bramble bush do they gather grapes.
