Luke 6:30-40 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
30
Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.1
31
Do to others as you would have them do to you.2
32
"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?3 Even 'sinners' love those who love them.
33
And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that.
34
And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you?4 Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full.
35
But love your enemies, do good to them,5 and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons6 of the Most High,7 because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
36
Be merciful,8 just as your Father9 is merciful.
Judging Others
6:37-42pp -- Mt 7:1-5
37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged.10 Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.11 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.12 For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."13 39 He also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?14 40 A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.15Scripture quoted by permission.
