Luke 6:33-35
6:33 And
if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even
sinners
do the same.
6:34 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to be repaid,
what credit is that to you? Even sinners
lend to sinners, so that they may be repaid in full.
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.
Luke 14:12-14
14:12 He said also to the man who had invited him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, don’t invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors so you can be invited by them in return and get repaid.
14:13 But when you host an elaborate meal, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind.
14:14 Then you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
Luke 16:24
16:24 So
he called out,
‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus
to dip the tip of his finger
in water and cool my tongue, because I am in anguish
in this fire.’
