Context is everything when reading the Bible: read the words of Christ considering this homeless woman -- 

"Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes what is yours (like a gift of money or time) do not demand it back. (expect in return the goal you desired for it.) 

And just as you want people to treat you, treat them in the same way. And if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same thing. But love your enemies, and do good, expecting nothing in return; (your desired goal) and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men. 

Be merciful as your Father is merciful. And do not judge and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned. For by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you in return." Lk.6:30-

So each of us must examine our standard of measure......
