<p>6:32 <i>For if you love those that love you, what praise do you have? For even sinners love those that love them</i>- Taking responsibility for others is often thankless. Our human dysfunction cries out for affirmation, and we tend not to do those things for which we are not thanked. This is one of the most radical aspects of our calling as followers of Christ- to serve without being thanked. Belief in God&rsquo;s judgment helps us with this. For all our works will be rewarded in some sense by Him at the last day. If we love those that love us, we have no &ldquo;thank&rdquo; (AV) or &quot;praise&quot;- but we will have &ldquo;thank&rdquo;, or &ldquo;praise of God&rdquo; ultimately. And this is what ultimately matters. This speaks of receiving &quot;thank&quot; for making the conscious effort to love the unlovable. The Greek for &quot;thank&quot; or &quot;praise&quot; is <i>charis</i>, normally translated &quot;grace&quot;, and often connected with the help of the Spirit which is given to us in response to our own efforts.</p>
