Luke 6:36-37
Excerpted from: Mercy Triumphs Over Judgment!

In verse 36, the word merciful means showing and having compassion. When verse 36 is read in context with verses 27 to 35, the word refers to gifts and deeds. For example, to be a doer of merciful deeds. Verse 36 linked with verse 37 implies kindness and forbearance in judgment. So merciful here includes being compassionate.
