Our Kindness Needs To Grow

Love your enemies and be kind and do good [doing favors so that someone derives benefit from them] and lend, expecting and hoping for nothing in return but considering nothing as lost and despairing of no one; and then your recompense (your reward) will be great (rich, strong, intense, and abundant) and you will be sons of the Most High, for He Himself is kind and charitable and good to the ungrateful and the selfish and wicked. (Luke 6:35)

Let not mercy and kindness [shutting out all hatred and selfishness] and truth [shutting out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood] forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them upon the tablet of your heart.  So shall you find favor, good understanding, and high esteem in the sight [or judgment] of God and man. (Proverbs 3:3-4)
