Strongs On/Off
Context
6:35 But love your enemies , and do good , and lend , expecting nothing back . Then your reward will be great , and you will be sons of the Most High , because he is kind to ungrateful and evil people.
6:36 Be merciful , just as your Father is merciful .
Do Not Judge Others
6:37 “Do not judge , and you will not be judged ; do not condemn , and you will not be condemned ; forgive , and you will be forgiven .
6:38 Give , and it will be given to you : A good measure , pressed down , shaken together, running over , will be poured into your lap. For the measure you use will be the measure you receive.”
6:39 He also told them a parable : “Someone who is blind cannot lead another who is blind , can he? Won’t they both fall into a pit ?
6:40 A disciple is not greater than his teacher , but everyone when fully trained will be like his teacher .
6:41 Why do you see the speck in your brother’s eye , but fail to see the beam of wood in your own ?
6:42 How can you say to your brother , ‘Brother , let me remove the speck from your eye ,’ while you yourself don’t see the beam in your own ? You hypocrite ! First remove the beam from your own eye , and then you can see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye .
6:43 “For no good tree bears bad fruit , nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit ,
6:44 for each tree is known by its own fruit . For figs are not gathered from thorns , nor are grapes picked from brambles .
6:45 The good person out of the good treasury of his heart produces good , and the evil person out of his evil treasury produces evil , for his mouth speaks from what fills his heart .
6:46 “Why do you call me ‘Lord , Lord ,’ and don’t do what I tell you?
6:47 “Everyone who comes to me and listens to my words and puts them into practice– I will show you what he is like :
6:48 He is like a man building a house , who dug down deep , and laid the foundation on bedrock . When a flood came , the river burst against that house but could not shake it , because it had been well built .
6:49 But the person who hears and does not put my words into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation . When the river burst against that house , it collapsed immediately , and was utterly destroyed !”
