dby - Matthew:5:43-48

dby@Matthew:5:43 @ Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour and hate thine enemy.

dby@Matthew:5:44 @ But I say unto you, Love your enemies, [bless those who curse you,] do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who [insult you and] persecute you,

dby@Matthew:5:45 @ that ye may be [the] sons of your Father who is in [the] heavens; for he makes his sun rise on evil and good, and sends rain on just and unjust.

dby@Matthew:5:46 @ For if ye should love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not also the tax-gatherers the same?

dby@Matthew:5:47 @ And if ye should salute your brethren only, what do ye extraordinary? Do not also the Gentiles the same?

dby@Matthew:5:48 @ Be ye therefore perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.
