"And if you love those who love you, what kind of credit is [that] to you? For even sinners love those who love them!

And if you do good to those who do good to you, what kind of credit is [that] to you? Even the sinners do the same!

And if you lend [to those] from whom you expect to receive [back], what kind of credit is [that] to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, so that they may get back an equal [amount]!

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend expecting back nothing, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

And he also told them a parable: "Surely a blind person cannot lead the blind, [can he]? Will they not both fall into a pit?

Now [when] the Pharisee who invited him saw [this], he spoke to himself, saying, "If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what kind of woman [this is] who is touching him, that she is a sinner."

"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and furthermore, even his own life, {he cannot be} my disciple.

Whoever does not carry his own cross and {follow} me {cannot be} my disciple.

In the [same] way, therefore, every [one] of you who does not renounce all his own possessions {cannot be} my disciple.
