Luke 6:31-36 (Gospel)
31 |
And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise. |
32 |
But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. |
33 |
And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. |
34 |
And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. |
35 |
But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. |
36 |
Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. |
