Matthew:5:43-48
rsv@Matthew:5:43 @ "You have heard that it was said, `You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
rsv@Matthew:5:44 @ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
rsv@Matthew:5:45 @ so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
rsv@Matthew:5:46 @ For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
rsv@Matthew:5:47 @ And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
rsv@Matthew:5:48 @ You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
