30aGive to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.
31aAnd just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.
32a“But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
33And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
34aAnd 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.
35But 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.
36aTherefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.
Do Not Judge
37a“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. bForgive, and you will be forgiven.
