31Do to others as you wish them to do to you.
32If you love only those who love you, what thanks will be due to you? Why, even the outcast love those who love them!
33For, if you show kindness only to those who show kindness to you, what thanks will be due to you? Even the outcast do that!
34If you lend only to those from whom you expect to get something, what thanks will be due to you? Even the outcast lend to the outcast in the hope of getting as much in return!
35But love your enemies, and show them kindness, and lend to them, never despairing. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the thankless and the bad.
36Learn to be merciful — even as your Father is merciful.
37Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
38Give, and others will give to you. A generous measure, pressed and shaken down, and running over, will they pour into your lap; For The standard you use will be the standard used for you.”
