“Mercy” here deals with everything preceding it—loving our enemies, doing good to all, and lending without expecting to receive back. All these things are contrary to the way the world does things. As Christians, we should be different. It is mercy to love someone who does not return it, to do good to those who have never done good to you. However those around us may act, Christian or not, we are to do as God commands. How we behave is up to us.
