John 13:34 NIV
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
What do we do? We Judge and misjudge. Say, we know a person who is very truthful, generous and perfect. Who always fulfills the promises he makes. We trust him, we know he has higher credibility. We also think good for him, and think good about him. At the same time we know someone who has cheated us, who never keeps his word. His credibility is low. We never think anything good about him and we never think anything good for him.
Now how does it change? If we know he never keeps his word, So we think that he is going to be the same. How does it matter. Only our thoughts will get proved. Are we going to be happy with that thoughts about others? Or taking a step further and believing that he will change this time, may be not, but yet I will think good for him and think good about him.
If we think and it happens about this untrustworthy person, what benefit is that we are going to get other than our thoughts being correct. But if we thing good and even if that does not comes to pass we should never give up. We are to Love one another.
Just after giving us guidance us to Ask, Seek and Knock. Jesus said:
Matthew 7:12 NIV
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
Jesus knew the imperfections and the sin of the woman who was caught in the adultery. He instead of allowing them to throw the stones, forgave and gave an other chance, saying "Sin no more".

Matthew 5:44-48
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may [a]be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous andthe unrighteous. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?48 Therefore [b]you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
