Luke 6:31 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 6:31

29 ^aTo him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. ^bAnd from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either.

30 ^aGive to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.

31 ^aAnd just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

32 ^a“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 ^aAnd 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 ^alove your enemies, ^bdo good, and ^clend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and ^dyou will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.

36 ^aTherefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

Do Not Judge

37 ^a“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. ^bForgive, and you will be forgiven.

38 ^aGive, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your ^bbosom. For ^cwith the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”
