Luke:6:27-42

*
But I say unto you which hear ,
Love your enemies ,
do good to them which hate you ,
*
Bless them that curse you ,
and pray for them which despitefully use you .
*
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other ;
and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also .
*
Give to every man that asketh of thee ;
and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again .
*
And as ye would that men should do to you ,
do ye also to them likewise .
*
For if ye love them which love you ,
what thank have ye ?
for sinners also love those that love them .
*
And if ye do good to them which do good to you ,
what thank have ye ?
for sinners also do even the same .
*
And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive ,
what thank have ye ?
for sinners also lend to sinners ,
to receive as much again .
*
But love ye your enemies ,
and do good ,
and lend ,
hoping for nothing again ;
and your reward shall be great ,
and ye shall be the children of the Highest :
for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil .
*
Be ye therefore merciful ,
as your Father also is merciful .
*
Judge not ,
and ye shall not be judged :
condemn not ,
and ye shall not be condemned :
forgive ,
and ye shall be forgiven :
*
Give ,
and it shall be given unto you ;
good measure ,
pressed down ,
and shaken together ,
and running over ,
shall men give into your bosom .
For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again .
*
And he spake a parable unto them ,
Can the blind lead the blind ?
shall they not both fall into the ditch ?
*
The disciple is not above his master :
but every one that is perfect shall be as his master .
*
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother '
s eye ,
but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye ?
*
Either how canst thou say to thy brother ,
Brother ,
let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye ,
when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye ?
Thou hypocrite ,
cast out first the beam out of thine own eye ,
and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother '
s eye .
