Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Luke 6:36 · BSB

Luke 6:36 in context

The verses around it, from Luke 6.

32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.

34 And 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.

35 But 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.

36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

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.

38 Give, 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.”

39 Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
