Luke 6:32-34

[32] For  if  ye love  what  thank  for  sinners  also  love  them.  [33] And  if  ye do good  what  thank  for  sinners  also do  even  the same.  [34] And  if  ye lend  to them of  whom  ye hope  to receive,  what  thank  sinners  also  lend  to sinners,  to  as much  again. 

What does Luke 6:32-34 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Jesus next compared the courtesies that non-disciples extend to others with those that His disciples should extend. He proceeded from the general concept of loving ( Luke 6:32) to the more concrete expression of it as doing good ( Luke 6:33) to the specific example of lending ( Luke 6:34). His point was that disciples should not only love their enemies but also love and express their love to their friends more than other people do.
The seven actions that Jesus commanded in Luke 6:27-31 are the following. Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. Furthermore do not retaliate when others attack you, give freely to those who ask of you, and treat others the way you would want them to treat you. This type of love marks a disciple off as distinctive ( Luke 6:32-34) and is the type of love that God shows and enables the disciple to demonstrate ( Luke 6:35).
