emtv - Matthew:5:43-48

emtv@Matthew:5:43 @ "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and you shall hate your enemy.'

emtv@Matthew:5:44 @ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

emtv@Matthew:5:45 @ so that you may prove to be sons of your Father in heaven; because He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and He sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

emtv@Matthew:5:46 @ For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

emtv@Matthew:5:47 @ And if you greet your friends only, what more are you doing [than others]? Do not even the tax collectors do so?

emtv@Matthew:5:48 @ You therefore be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
