32 And if you? love those loving you?, what grace is it to you?? For even the sinners love those loving them. 33 For even if you? do good to those doing good to you?, what grace is it to you?? Even the sinners do the same. 34 And if you? lend to those from whom you? expect to receive back, what grace is it to you?? Even sinners lend to sinners, that they might receive back the equivalent. 35 But love your? enemies, and do good, and lend expecting nothing back. And your? reward will be great, and you? will be sons of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and evil. 36 Be merciful, as also your? Father is merciful. 37 And do not judge, and you? shall not be judged; and do not condemn, and you? shall not be condemned; release, and you? will be released. 38 Give, and it will be given to you?. A good measure, pressed down, shaken, running over, they will give into your? bosom. For with what measure you? measure, it will be measured back to you?.” 39 And He also spoke a parable to them: “Is a blind man able to guide a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone fully trained will be like his teacher. 41 And why do you look at the splinter that is in the eye of your brother, but not notice the beam that is in your own eye? 42 How are you able to say to your brother, ‘Brother, permit that I might cast out the splinter that is in your eye,’ yourself not seeing the beam in your eye? Hypocrite! First cast out the beam from your eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the splinter that is in the eye of your brother. 43 For there is no good tree producing rotten fruit, nor again a rotten tree producing good fruit. 44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a bramble bush. 45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good, and the evil out of the evil brings forth what is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks. 46 And why do you? call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I say? 47 Everyone who is coming to Me and hearing My words and doing them, I will show you? whom he is like. 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug and deepened and laid a foundation on the rock. And a flood having come, the river burst upon that house, and it was not able to shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one having heard and not having done is like a man having built a house on the ground without a foundation, on which the river burst, and immediately it fell—and the ruin of that house was great!” Luke 6:32-49, Berean Literal Bible.
