Matthew 5:43-47
Matthew 5:43
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
Matthew 5:44
But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
Matthew 5:45
so that you may prove yourselves to 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 and the unrighteous.
Matthew 5:46
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Even the tax collectors, do they not do the same?
Matthew 5:47
And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Even the Gentiles, do they not do the same?
