006:029 To him who gives you a blow on one side of the face offer
the other side also; and to him who is robbing you of your outer garment refuse not the under one also. 006:030 To every one who asks, give; and from him who takes away your property, do not demand it back. 006:031 And behave to your fellow men just as you would have them behave to you. 006:032 "If you love those who love you, what credit is it to you? Why, even bad men love those who love them. 006:033 And if you are kind to those who are kind to you, what credit is it to you? Even bad men act thus. 006:034 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is it to you? Even bad men lend to their fellows so as to receive back an equal amount. 006:035 Nevertheless love your enemies, be beneficent; and lend without hoping for any repayment. Then your recompense shall be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 006:036 Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate. 006:037 "Judge not, and you shall not be judged; condemn not, and you shall not be condemned; pardon, and you shall be pardoned; 006:038 give, and gifts shall be bestowed on you. Full measure, pressed, shaken down, and running over, shall they pour into your laps; for with the same measure that you use they shall measure to you in return." 006:039 He also spoke to them in figurative language. "Can a blind man lead a blind man?" He asked; "would not both fall into the ditch? 006:040 There is no disciple who is superior to his teacher; but every one whose instruction is complete will be like his teacher. |
