Matthew 5:
43 - 48
|
| 43 |
"You have heard that it was said, `You shall
love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' |
| 44 |
But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray
for those who persecute you, |
| 45 |
so that you may be sons of your Father who
is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends
rain on the just and on the unjust. |
| 46 |
For if you love those who love you, what
reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? |
| 47 |
And if you salute only your brethren, what
more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
|
| 48 |
You, therefore, must be perfect, as your
heavenly Father is perfect. |
