Blessed are ye, when men will hate you, and when they will exclude you, and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, because of the Son of man. read more.

Become ye therefore merciful, even as your Father is merciful. And do not criticize, and ye will, no, not be criticized. And do not condemn, and ye will, no, not be condemned. Forgive, and ye will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, they will give into your bosom.
