Luke 6:31-38 ASV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 6:27-36

These verses agree with Matt. 5:38; to the end of that chapter: I say unto you that hear (Luke 6:27), to all you that hear, and not to disciples only, for these are lessons of universal concern. He that has an ear, let him hear. Those that diligently hearken to Christ shall find he has something to say to them well worth their hearing. Now the lessons Christ here teacheth us are, I. That we must render to all their due, and be honest and just in all our dealings (Luke 6:31): As ye would that... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 6:37-49

All these sayings of Christ we had before in Matthew; some of them in Matt. 7:1-29, others in other places. They were sayings that Christ often used; they needed only to be mentioned, it was easy to apply them. Grotius thinks that we need not be critical here in seeking for the coherence: they are golden sentences, like Solomon's proverbs or parables. Let us observe here, I. We ought to be very candid in our censures of others, because we need grains of allowance ourselves: ?Therefore judge... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 6:27-38

6:27-38 Jesus said, "But to you who are listening I say, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who ill-use you. To him who strikes you on one cheek offer the other cheek also. If anyone takes away your cloak, do not stop him taking your tunic, too. Give to everyone who asks you; if anyone takes away your belongings, do not demand them back again. As you would like men to act towards you, so do you act towards them. If you love those who... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:31

And as ye would that men should do to you ,.... In matters of justice and beneficence were they in your case, and you in theirs; do ye also to them likewise : a golden rule this, agreeably to the light of nature, and divine revelation, and is the sum and substance of the law and prophets; See Gill on Matthew 7:12 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:32

For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? .... Or, "what grace have ye?" this is no fruit, nor evidence of grace, nor any exercise of the true grace of love; nor is it any favour conferred upon the object loved, which deserves the respect shown, nor can any reward be expected for such treatment: and thus it is expressed in Matthew, "what reward have ye?" and the Arabic version renders it so here: for sinners also love those who love them : men that are destitute of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:33

And if ye do good to them which do good to you ,.... As one good turn deserves another: what thank have ye? what grace or goodness is there in such an action? what glory or merit is there in it? for sinners also do even the same : wherefore no man should conclude himself a righteous man, or better than sinners, on such an account: this is to be found among the worst of men, and is natural to them, unless they are brutes indeed, to be kind to such as are kind to them. And yet, this... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:34

And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive ,.... The same again, as from their brethren the Jews; or usury, as from the Gentiles: what thank have ye ? and yet they looked upon this, in the first instance of it, as a very great kindness, and act of goodness, as appears from the above citation: for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again ; or "what is equal", and answerable to what they have lent them; that is, the same, or what is equivalent to it. read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:35

But love ye your enemies ,.... As before urged in Luke 6:27 and do good and lend ; not to your friends only, but to your enemies; hoping for nothing again ; either principal or interest, despairing of seeing either; lending to such persons, from whom, in all appearance, it is never to be expected again. The Persic version renders it, "that ye may not cause any to despair": and the Syriac version, "that ye may not cut off", or "cause to cease the hope of men"; and the Arabic... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:36

Be ye therefore merciful ,.... Tenderhearted, kind, beneficent to all men, friends and foes: as your Father also is merciful ; that is your Father which is in heaven; who is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all his works: nothing is more common in Zohar F25 Zohar in Lev. fol. 2. 2. & 9. 4. & 20. 1. & 22. 1. , and the Talmud F26 T. Bab. Moed Katon, fol. 15. 2. than to express the Divine Being by no other name, than "the Merciful"; אמר רחמנא , "the... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 6:37

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged ,.... See Gill on Matthew 7:1 . Condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned ; censure not men's persons, and judge not their state, or adjudge them to condemnation, for every offence in practice, or because they differ in principle, lest you should be treated in like manner by others; and especially, lest you should fall under the righteous censure, judgment, and condemnation of God: forgive ; offences and trespasses committed against you, bear... read more
