2Sa 22:26, Job 31:16-22, Psa 18:25, 37:26, Mat 6:14-15, 18:33-35 | ESV | STEP | With the merciful you show yourself merciful ; with the blameless man you show yourself blameless ;

16 “If I have ^cwithheld anything that the poor desired,
or have ^dcaused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17 or have eaten my morsel alone,
and the fatherless has not eaten of it
18 (for from my youth the fatherless ^{▼▼Hebrew he} grew up with me as with a father,
and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow ^{▼▼Hebrew her}),
19 if I have seen anyone ^gperish for ^hlack of clothing,
or the needy without ⁱcovering,
20 if his body has not ^jblessed me, ^{▼▼Hebrew if his loins have not blessed me}
and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
21 if I have raised my hand against ^lthe fatherless,
because I saw my help in ^mthe gate,
22 then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder,
and let my arm be broken from its socket.

Psalms 18:25

25 With ⁿthe merciful you show yourself merciful;
with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;

Psalms 37:26

26 He is ever ^olending generously,
and his children become a blessing.

Matthew 6:14-15

14 ^pFor if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 ^qbut if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 18:33-35

33 ^rAnd should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ 34 ^sAnd in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, ^{▼▼Greek torturers} ^uuntil he should pay all his debt. 35 ^vSo also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother ^wfrom your heart.”
