Luke 6:31-41

31 "¹Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.

32 "²If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

33 "If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

34 "³If 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.

35 "But ⁴love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting 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.

36 "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37 "⁷Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; ⁸pardon, and you will be pardoned.

38 "Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour ⁹into your lap a ¹⁰good measure -pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return."

39 And He also spoke a parable to them: "¹¹A blind man cannot * guide a blind man, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40 "¹²A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher.

41 "Why 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?
