31 你们想要别人怎样对待你们,你们就要怎样对待别人。 32 如果你们只爱那些爱你们的人,有什么功劳呢?就是罪人也会这样做。 33 如果你们只善待那些善待你们的人,有什么功劳呢?就是罪人也会这样做。 34 如果你们借钱给人,指望收回,有什么功劳呢?即使罪人也会借贷给罪人,日后再如数收回。

35 “然而,要爱你们的仇敌,善待他们;无论借出什么,都不要指望归还。这样,你们将有大赏赐,并且将成为至高者的儿子,因为祂以恩慈待那些忘恩负义和作恶的人。 36 你们要怜悯人,像你们的天父怜悯人一样。

责人先责己

37 “不要论断人,免得你们被人论断;不要定人的罪,免得自己也被定罪。要饶恕人,这样你们也必蒙饶恕。 38 你们要给他人,这样上帝必给你们,并且会用大号升斗摇匀压实,满满地倒给你们,因为你们用什么样的量器量给别人,上帝也会用什么样的量器量给你们。”

Then your reward will be great, and you will be children(E) of the Most High,(F) because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful,(G) just as your Father(H) is merciful.

Judging Others(I)

37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged.(J) Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.(K) 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.(L) For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”(M)
