Luke 6:32-49

321If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 342If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount. 35But 3love your enemies, and do good, and lend, 4expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be 5sons of 6the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men. 367Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37“8Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; 910pardon, and you will be pardoned. 38Give, and it will be given to you. They will 11pour 12into your lap a 13good measure--pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”

39And He also spoke a parable to them: “14A blind man cannot guide a blind man, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit? 4015A 16pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will 17be like his teacher. 41Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 42Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye. 4318For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, 19on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit. 4420For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush. 4521The good man out of the good 22treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; 23for his mouth speaks from 24that which fills his heart.

46“25Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 4726Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and 27acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: 48he is like a man building a house, who 28dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the 29torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the 30torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”
