Quotes About Compassion

You have heard that it was said, ëLove your neighborí and ëHate your enemy.í

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.

so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.

For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Why do you look at the speck in your brotherís eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

How can you say to your brother, ëLet me take the speck out of your eye,í while there is still a beam in your own eye?

You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brotherís eye.

In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.

“Lord, my servant lies at home, paralyzed and in terrible agony.”
