31 (A)And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

32 (B)“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 (C)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 (D)love your enemies, (E)do good, and (F)lend, [a]hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and (G)you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. 36 (H)Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

Do Not Judge(I)

37 (J)“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. (K)Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 (L)Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your (M)bosom. For (N)with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”
