katapi HOME Luke 6:32-36 - Love for Enemies  Lk.6.32-36 (Hill of Hattin?)- Mt.5.43-48, Lk.6.27-28 | NEB Contents | notes

6 32 'If you love only those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 6 33 Again, if you do good only to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do as much. 6 34 And if you lend only where you expect to be repaid, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to each other if they are to be repaid in full. 6 35 But you must love your enemies and do good; and lend without expecting any return; Or: without ever giving up hope; some witnesses read: without giving up hope of anyone. and you will have a rich reward: you will be sons of the Most High, because he himself is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 6 36 Be compassionate as your Father is compassionate.
