Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
Luke.6.26
"There's trouble ahead when you live only for the approval of others, saying what flatters them, doing what indulges them. Popularity contests are not truth contests--look how many scoundrel preachers were approved by your ancestors! Your task is to be true, not popular.
Luke.6.26
Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets.
Luke.6.26
Woe to you when all men speak well of you, For so did their fathers to the false prophets.
Luke.6.26
What sorrows await you who are praised by the crowds, for their ancestors also praised false prophets.
Luke.6.27
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Luke.6.27
"To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst.

And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.

Luke.6.29
To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either.

Luke.6.31
And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.
Luke.6.31
Do for others as you would like them to do for you.
Luke.6.32
For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
Luke.6.32
If you only love the lovable, do you expect a pat on the back? Run-of-the-mill sinners do that.
Luke.6.32
"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them.
Luke.6.32
"But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
Luke.6.32
"Do you think you deserve credit merely for loving those who love you? Even the sinners do that!
Luke.6.33
And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
Luke.6.33
If you only help those who help you, do you expect a medal? Garden-variety sinners do that.
Luke.6.33
And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that.
Luke.6.33
And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
Luke.6.33
And if you do good only to those who do good to you, is that so wonderful? Even sinners do that much!
Luke.6.34
And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
Luke.6.34
If you only give for what you hope to get out of it, do you think that's charity? The stingiest of pawnbrokers does that.
Luke.6.34
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.
Luke.6.34
And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.
Luke.6.34
And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, what good is that? Even sinners will lend to their own kind for a full return.
Luke.6.35
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Luke.6.35

Luke.6.36
Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.
Luke.6.36
You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.
Luke.6.37
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Luke.6.37
"Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults--unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don't condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you'll find life a lot easier.

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Luke.6.38
Give away your life; you'll find life given back, but not merely given back--given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity."

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 to you."
Luke.6.38
Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."
Luke.6.38
If you give, you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use in giving--large or small--it will be used to measure what is given back to you."
Luke.6.39
And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
Luke.6.39
He quoted a proverb: Can a blind man guide a blind man?' Wouldn't they both end up in the ditch?
Luke.6.39
He also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
Luke.6.39
And He spoke a parable to them: "Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch?
Luke.6.39
Then Jesus gave the following illustration: "What good is it for one blind person to lead another? The first one will fall into a ditch and pull the other down also.
Luke.6.40
The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
Luke.6.40
An apprentice doesn't lecture the master. The point is to be careful who you follow as your teacher.
Luke.6.40
A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
Luke.6.40
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher.
Luke.6.40
A student is not greater than the teacher. But the student who works hard will become like the teacher.
Luke.6.41
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Luke.6.41
"It's easy to see a smudge on your neighbor's face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own.
Luke.6.41
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
Luke.6.41
And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye?
Luke.6.41
"And why worry about a speck in your friend's eye when you have a log in your own?
Luke.6.42
Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
Luke.6.42
Do you have the nerve to say, "Let me wash your face for you,' when your own face is distorted by contempt? It's this I-know-better-than-you mentality again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your own part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor.
Luke.6.42
How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
Luke.6.42
Or how can you say to your brother, "Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye.
Luke.6.42
How can you think of saying, 'Friend, let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,' when you can't see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log from your own eye; then perhaps you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend's eye.
Luke.6.43
For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
Luke.6.47
These words I speak to you are not mere additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundation words, words to build a life on.

I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice.
Luke.6.47
Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like:
Luke.6.47

Luke.6.49
But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don't work them into your life, you are like a dumb carpenter who built a house but skipped the foundation. When the swollen river came crashing in, it collapsed like a house of cards. It was a total loss."
Luke.6.49
But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."
