Mercy And Reward

Οἰκτίρμων καρδία δῆλον ὅτι οἰκτειρήσεται· καὶ ἐλεηθήσεται ὁμοίως ἐλεήμων. Τὰ δὲ ἐναντία, ᾑ ἀκολουθία ἀντιπεφώνηκεν. Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Νόμου Πνευματικοῦ Source: Migne PG 65.909a

A compassionate heart will certainly receive compassion, and mercy shall be received as one is merciful. 1 And he who has returned what is opposite to these things, shall receive what follows from that. Saint Mark The Ascetic, On The Spiritual Law. 1 Mt 5.7
