But he, knowing their thoughts, said to the man, whose hand was blasted, Arise, and stand in the middle. And he arose and stood.
9 Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to destroy it?"
Then Jesus said to them, I would ask you, What is it lawful to do on the Sabbath? Good or ill? To save, or to destroy?

29 To the person who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from the person who takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt either.

30 Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
Give to every one who asks you; and from him who takes away your goods, do not demand them back.

And as you would that men should do to you, do you likewise to them.
32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
For if you love those who love you, what thanks are you entitled to, since even sinners love those who love them?
33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
And if you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks are you entitled to, since even sinners do the same?

41 And why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
And why do you observe the mote in your brother's eyes; but perceive not the splinter in your own eye?
42 Or how can you tell your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite. First remove the log from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye.
Or how can you say to your brothers, Brother, let me take out the mote which is in your eye, not considering that there is a splinter out of your own eye; then you will see to take out the mote which is in your brother's eyes.
43 For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.
That is not a good tree which yields bad fruit; nor is that a bad tree which yields good fruit.
44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
For every tree is known by its own fruit. Figs are not gathered off thorns; nor grapes off a bramble-bush.
45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil person out of the evil treasure brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.
The good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, brings that which is good: the bad man out of the bad treasure of his heart, brings that which is bad; for it is out of the fulness of the heart that the mouth speaks.
46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say?
But why do you, in addressing me, cry, Master, Master, and obey not my commands!
47 Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.
Whoever comes to me and hears my precepts, and practices them, I will show you whom he resembles:
48 He is like someone building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
he resembles a man who built a house, and digging deep, laid the foundation upon the rock: and when an inundation came, the torrent broke upon that house, but could not shake it; for it was founded upon rock.
49 But he who hears, and does not do, is like someone who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."
But he who hears, and does not practice, resembles a man, who, without laying a foundation, built a house upon the earth: which, when the torrent broke against it, fell, and became a great pile of ruins.
