Luke 6:27-42

27“But I say to you who listen: Love your enemies, do what is good to those who hate you,

28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29If anyone hits you on the cheek, offer the other also. And if anyone takes away your coat, don’t hold back your shirt either.

30Give to everyone who asks you, and from someone who takes your things, don’t ask for them back.

31Just as you want others to do for you, do the same for them.

32If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

33If you do what is good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.

34And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners to be repaid in full.

35But love your enemies, do what is good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High. For he is gracious to the ungrateful and evil.

36Be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

37“Do 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 it will be given to you; a good measure — pressed down, shaken together, and running over — will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

39He also told them a parable: “Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit?

40A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

41“Why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye, but don’t notice the beam of wood in your own eye?

42Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the splinter that is in your eye,’ when you yourself don’t see the beam of wood in your eye? Hypocrite! First take the beam of wood out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the splinter in your brother’s eye.
