Luke 6:35

Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;

Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.

Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

Cast your bread on the waters; for you shall find it after many days.

Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

“The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

But don’t forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.

I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:

“ ‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you must not wholly reap into the corners of your field, and you must not gather the gleanings of your harvest. You must leave them for the poor, and for the foreigner. I am Yahweh your God.’ ”

See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!

that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

Behold, they cried out, saying, “What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”

But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.

For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.

who gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields;

For by these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.

One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.

“But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you.”

If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,

as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,

being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in a good place;” and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”

“I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

that I will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.

With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

Yahweh is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works.

The merciful man does good to his own soul, but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.

There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.

A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.

He who has a generous eye will be blessed; for he shares his food with the poor.

A throne will be established in loving kindness. One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness.

Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.

For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.

Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.

I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.

If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.

And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.

This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;

But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?

“To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: “He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things:

All day long he deals graciously, and lends. His offspring is blessed.

He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh; he will reward him.

Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward.”

“ ‘If your brother has become poor, and his hand can’t support himself among you, then you shall uphold him. He shall live with you like an alien and a temporary resident.

When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to get it. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

and crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don’t torment me.”

He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,

“In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.

“If a man borrows anything of his neighbor’s, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.

The Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, as well as the foreigner living among you, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.

For Yahweh your God will bless you, as he promised you. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. You will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you.

May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”

He prepared a great feast for them. When they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria stopped raiding the land of Israel.

But you be strong, and don’t let your hands be slack; for your work will be rewarded.”

Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,

Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.

bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.

If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.

knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.

that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good for one another and for all.

Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
