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.
