noyes@Matthew:5:43 @ Ye have heard that it was said, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy."
noyes@Matthew:5:44 @ But I say to you, Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you;
noyes@Matthew:5:45 @ that ye may become sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
noyes@Matthew:5:46 @ For if ye love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same?
noyes@Matthew:5:47 @ And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye that excelleth? Do not even the heathen the same?
noyes@Matthew:5:48 @ Be ye therefore perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
