rwp@Luke:6:27 @{But I say unto you that hear} (\Alla humin leg tois akouousin\). There is a contrast in this use of \alla\ like that in kjv@Matthew:5:44|. This is the only one of the many examples given by kjv@Matthew:5| of the sharp antithesis between what the rabbis taught and what Jesus said. Perhaps that contrast is referred to by Luke. If necessary, \alla\ could be coordinating or paratactic conjunction as in kjv@2Corinthians:7:11| rather than adversative as apparently here. See kjv@Matthew:5:43f.| Love of enemies is in the O.T., but Jesus ennobles the word, \agapa\, and uses it of love for one's enemies.
