30 - “Give to everyone who asks from you, and if someone takes away your goods don’t demand them back. 31 Treat others how you want others to treat you. 32 If you love only those who love you, of what benefit to you {your spirit} is that? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners [‘hamartians’ - {the still} missing the mark] do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive back, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back from them. 35 But love your enemies! Do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. And your reward will be great, and you will be sons and daughters of the Most High. For he is kind to the ungrateful and to the evil [poneros - wicked, bad, malicious {even} evil]. 36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.” {He made the psyche.. all will come out in the wash.}

     37 Don’t judge [krinó - judge, decide, determine, try, condemn {accuse? label?] others, and you won’t be judged. {Accused, slandered, labeled.} “Don’t condemn others, and you won’t be condemned. If you forgive others” {their missing the mark}, “you’ll be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you, in good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will it be given to you! For with the measure you use {for Good or for notGood} so shall it be measured back to you.”

     06/17 - GospeL Verses

26 - In the sixth month (of “John the baptist’s” being in the womb) the angel Gabriel was sent from God to Nazareth, a city of Galilee, 27 to a maid (maids were virgins) betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 Gabriel came and said to her, “Greetings, O favored one, the LORD is with you!”

     29 She was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to think what sort of greeting it might be. 30 And Gabriel said, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God! 31 And look! You will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. And the LORD God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

     34 Mary asked him, “How will this be, since I have never been with a man?” 35 Gabriel answered her, “The Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. And so the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. 36 And also, your relative Elizabeth, in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is now the sixth month with her who was said to be barren. 37 For with God, nothing is impossible.”

     38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the LORD. Let it be to me according to your word.” {According to what God wants.} And then the angel departed.
