Luke 6:31-42

New American Standard Bible

^31 [a](A)Treat people the same way you want them to ^[b]treat you. ^32 (B)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 expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount. ³⁵ But ^(D)love your enemies and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be ^(E)sons of ^(F)the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil people. ^36 [c]Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

³⁷ “^(G)Do not ^[d]judge, and you will not be judged; and do not ^[e]condemn, and you will not be condemned; ^[f](H)pardon, and you will be pardoned. ³⁸ Give, and it will be given to you. They will ^[g]pour ^(I)into your lap a ^(J)good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”

³⁹ Now He also spoke a parable to them: “^(K)A person who is blind cannot guide another who is blind, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit? ^40 (L)A ^[h]student is not above the teacher; but everyone, when he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher. ⁴¹ Why do you look at the ^[i]speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? ⁴² How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the ^[j]speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the ^[k]speck that is in your brother’s eye.
