Luke 6 — Context

34

And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thank have you? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

35

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

36

Be you therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

37

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

38

Give, 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 you mete with it shall be measured to you again.

39

And he spoke a parable to them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

40

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