Luke 6:29-49 ▼

29 And vnto hym that smyteth thee on the one cheeke, offer also the other. And hym that taketh away thy cloke, forbyd not to take thy coate also.

30 Geue to euery man that asketh of thee: And of hym that taketh away thy goodes, aske them not agayne.

31 And as ye woulde that men shoulde do to you, do ye also to them lykewyse.

32 For yf ye loue them which loue you, what thanke haue ye? For sinners also loue their louers.

33 And yf ye do good for them which do good for you, what thanke haue ye? For sinners also do euen the same.

34 And yf ye lende to them, of whom ye hope to receaue, what thanke haue ye? For synners also lende to sinners, to receaue such lyke agayne.

35 But loue ye your enemies, & do good, and lende, lokyng for nothyng agayne: and your rewarde shalbe great, and ye shalbe the chyldren of the hyest: for he is kynde vnto the vnkynde, & to the euyll.

36 Be ye therfore mercifull, as your father also is mercifull.

37 Iudge not, & ye shall not be iudged: Condemne not, and ye shall not be condemned: Forgeue, & ye shalbe forgeuen.

38 Geue, and it shalbe geuen vnto you: good measure, pressed downe, & shaken together, and runnyng ouer, shall men geue into your bosomes. For with the same measure that ye meate withall, shall other men meate to you agayne.

39 And he put foorth a similitude vnto them: Can the blynde leade the blynde? Do they not both fall into the ditche?

40 The disciple is not aboue his maister: But whosoeuer wylbe a perfect disciple, shalbe as his maister is.

41 And why seest thou a moate in thy brothers eye: but considerest not the beame that is in thyne owne eye?

42 Either, howe canst thou say to thy brother: Brother, let me pull out the moate that is in thyne eye, when thou seest not the beame that is in thyne owne eye? Thou hypocrite, caste out the beame out of thyne owne eye first, & then shalt thou see perfectly, to pul out the moate that is in thy brothers eye.

43 For it is not a good tree, that bryngeth foorth euyll fruite: Neither is that an euyll tree, that bryngeth foorth good fruite.

44 For euery tree is knowen by his fruite: for of thornes do not me gather fygges, nor of busshes, gather they grapes.

45 A good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, bringeth foorth that which is good: And an euyll man, out of the euyll treasure of his heart, bryngeth foorth that which is euyll. For of the aboundaunce of the heart, his mouth speaketh.

46 Why call ye me Lorde, Lorde, and do not as I byd you?

47 Whosoeuer commeth to me, & heareth my sayinges, and doth the same, I wyll shewe you to whom he is lyke.

48 He is lyke a man which built an house, and digged deepe, and layde the foundation on a rocke. And when the waters arose, the fludde beat vpon that house, and coulde not moue it: For it was grounded vpon a rocke.

49 But he that heareth and doeth not, is lyke a man, that without foundation, built an house vpon the earth, agaynst which the fludde dyd beate, and it fell immediatly: And the fall of that house was great.
