"Give to every man who asks of you, and of him who takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. And as you want men to do to you, do also the same to them. For if you love those who love you, what thanks are you worthy of? Because sinners love those who love them. And if you do good for those who do good for you, what thanks are you worthy of? Because sinners also do the same. And if you lend to those of whom you hope to receive, what that’s will you have? Because sinners also lend to sinners, to receive the same amount back. But love you your enemies, do good, and lend, looking for nothing back, and your reward will be great and you will be the children of the Highest. Because he is kind to the ungrateful and to the evil. Be, therefore, merciful, as your Father is also merciful."
- Luke 6:30-36 in the Abbott ePublishing Tyndale21 version of the Gospels
