Luke 6 — Context

32

If 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.

33

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

34

And 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.

35

But 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.

36

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

37

Be 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:

38

Give, 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.
