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. |
