35 Wherefore love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, [a]looking for nothing again, and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of (A)the most High: for he is kind unto the unkind, and to the evil.

36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

37 (B)[b]Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: [c]forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.
