Luke 6:31-35

31 Do for others just what you want them to do for you. ¹

32 "If you love only the people who love you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners love those who love them!

33 And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners do that!

34 And if you lend only to those from whom you hope to get it back, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount!

35 No! Love your enemies and do good to them; lend and expect nothing back. You will then have a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God. For he is good to the ungrateful and the wicked. ²
