Luke 6:27-42

27“But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

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

29To the one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also. And from the one who takes your cloak, do not hold back your shirt.

30Give to every one who asks you; and whoever takes something of yours, make no demands upon him.

31“Do to others as you would have them do to you.

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

33And if you do good to those who are doing good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do this.

34And if you lend to those from whom you expect to take, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same.

35“But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great and you will be sons of Elyon, for He is kind to the ungrateful and evil ones.

36Be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate to you.”

37Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Pardon, and you will be pardoned.

38Give, and it will be given to you—a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, overflowing, will be given into your lap. For whatever measure you measure out will be measured back to you.”

39He also spoke this parable to them: “The blind cannot show the way to the blind, can he? 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 speck in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the beam in your own eye?

42How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly the speck in your brother’s eye, to take it out.”
