Matthew 5:43-48

Chapter 5

43
You have heard that it was said: Love your neighbor and do not do good to your enemy.
44

But this I tell you: love your enemies; and pray for those who persecute you,

45

so that you may be children of your Father in Heaven. For he makes his sun rise on both the wicked and the good, and he gives rain to both the just and the unjust.

46

If you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Don’t even tax collectors do the same?

47

And if you are only friendly to your friends, what makes that so exceptional? Don’t even the pagans do that? As for you, be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.
