Luke 6:27-42

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Luke 6:27-42

27But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
29If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.
30Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.
31Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.
33If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.
34And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.
35But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
37Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”
39Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?
42How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
— Luke 6:27-42
