Luke 6:30-40

30 1Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back.
31 And 2as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
32 3"If you love those who love you, what benefit 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 benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
34 And 4if you 5lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount.
35 But 6love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and 7you will be sons of 8the Most High, for 9he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.
36 10Be merciful, even as 11your Father is merciful.

Judging Others

37 "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; 12forgive, and you will be forgiven;
38 13give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put 14into your lap. For 15with the measure you use it will be measured back to you."
39 He also told them a parable: 16"Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40 17A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is 18fully trained will be like his teacher.
