Quote by Jesus Christ

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?

Summary

This quote challenges the notion of unconditional love and altruism. It suggests that simply loving and doing good to those who reciprocate our feelings and actions is not particularly praiseworthy. It implies that true virtue lies in loving and doing good to those who may not necessarily love us back or deserve it. The quote emphasizes the importance of rising above self-interest and societal norms, encouraging actions that showcase compassion and empathy towards all, rather than just those who are easiest to love.
