* Ye have heard , that it was said , Thou shalt love thy neighbour , and hate thine enemy . * But , I , say unto you , Be loving your enemies , and praying for them who are persecuting you : * That ye may become sons of your Father who is in the heavens : because , his sun , he maketh arise on evil and good , and sendeth rain , on just and unjust . * For , if ye love them that love you , what reward have ye ? are not , even the tax-collectors , the same thing , doing ? * And , if ye salute your brethren only , what , more than common , are ye doing ? are not , even the nations , the same thing , doing ? * Ye , therefore , shall become , perfect : as , your heavenly Father , is perfect .
