English Standard Version

Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Luke 6:37

Jesus said

This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

John 15:12

Luke 6 (English Standard Version)

34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount.
35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.
36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
37 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;
38 give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
39 He also told them a parable:
“Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.

John 15 (English Standard Version)

9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.
10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
14 You are my friends if you do what I command you.
15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

Don't judge, and you won't be judged; don't condemn, and you won't be condemned; forgive, and you'll be forgiven.

Luke 6:37

Jesus said:

This is my command: love one another as I have loved you.

John 15:12

Luke 6 (Free Bible Version)

34 If you lend money expecting to be repaid, why should you deserve any credit for that? Sinners lend money to other sinners as well, expecting to be repaid what they loaned.
35 No: love your enemies, do good to them, and lend without expecting to be repaid anything. Then you will receive a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God, for he is kind to ungrateful and wicked people.
36 Be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.
37 Don't judge, and you won't be judged; don't condemn, and you won't be condemned; forgive, and you'll be forgiven;
38 give, and you will be given generously in return. When what you're given is measured out, it's pressed down so more can be added, spilling out over the top, pouring into your lap! For how much you give will determine how much you receive.”
39 Then he illustrated the point: “Can a blind person lead another? Wouldn't they both fall into a ditch?
40 Do students know more than the teacher? Only when they've learned everything: then they will be like their teacher.

9 As the Father loved me, so I have loved you. Remain in my love.
10 If you do what I say, you will remain in my love, just as I do what my Father says and remain in his love.
11 I've explained this to you so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
12 This is my command: love one another as I have loved you.
13 There is no greater love than to give your life for your friends.
14 You're my friends if you do what I tell you.
15 I don't call you servants any longer, for servants are not taken into their master's confidence. I call you friends, for everything my Father told me I've explained to you.
