Berean Standard Bible
“Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.”
In Luke's Sermon on the Plain, which parallels much of Matthew's Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches love for enemies, doing good to those who hate you and lending without expecting repayment. He grounds these commands in God's character, who is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
