Luke 6:35-49

³⁵Nevertheless love ye your enemies, and do ye well, and lend ye, hoping nothing thereof, and your meed shall be much, and ye shall be the sons of the Highest, for he is benign, or of good will, on unkind men and evil men.

³⁶Therefore be ye merciful, as your Father is merciful.

³⁷Do not ye deem, and ye shall not be deemed. Do not ye condemn, and ye shall not be condemned; forgive ye, and it shall be forgiven to you.

³⁸Give ye, and it shall be given to you. They shall give into your bosom a good measure, and well-filled, and shaken together, and overflowing; for by the same measure, by which ye mete, it shall be meted again to you.

³⁹And he said to them a likeness, Whether the blind may lead the blind? nor fall they not both into the ditch? or whether they fall not both into the ditch?

⁴⁰A disciple is not above his master; but each shall be perfect, if he be as his master.

⁴¹And what seest thou in thy brother’s eye a mote, but thou beholdest not a beam, that is in thine own eye?

⁴²Or how mayest thou say to thy brother, Brother, suffer, I shall cast out the mote of thine eye, and thou beholdest not a beam that is in thine own eye? Hypocrite, first take out or cast out the beam of thine eye, and then thou shalt see to take out the mote of thy brother’s eye.

⁴³It is not a good tree, that maketh evil fruits, neither an evil tree, that maketh good fruits;

⁴⁴for every tree is known of his fruit. And men gather not figs of thorns, neither men gather a grape of a bush of briars.

⁴⁵A good man of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good things, and an evil man of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things; for of the plenty of the heart the mouth speaketh.

⁴⁶And what call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not those things that I say.

⁴⁷Each that cometh to me, and heareth my words, and doeth them, I shall show to you, to whom he is like.

⁴⁸He is like to a man that buildeth an house, that digged deep, and set or put the foundament on a stone. And when a great flood was made, the flood was hurled to that house, and it might not move it, for it was founded on a firm stone.

⁴⁹But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like to a man building his house on the earth, without foundament; into which the flood was hurled, and anon it fell down; and the falling down of that house was made great.
