Matthew 5:42-48
42 |
Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away. |
43 |
You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' |
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 spitefully use you and persecute you, |
45 |
that you may be sons of your Father 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. |
46 |
For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? |
47 |
And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? |
48 |
Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. |
