Luke 6:32-36

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³² If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.^{(A) 33} If you do what is good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. ³⁴ And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you?^(B) Even sinners lend to sinners to be repaid in full. ³⁵ But love your enemies, do what is good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High.^(C) For He is gracious to the ungrateful and evil. ³⁶ Be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.^(D)
