MATTHEW 5: 43-48 The law of love |
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, and
pray for those who persecute you
45. in order that you may be sons of your Father
who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to
rise on the evil and the good, and sends
rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46. For if you love those who love you, what
reward have you? Do not even the tax-gatherers
do the same?
47. And if you greet your brothers only, what
do you do more than other? Do not even the
Gentiles do the same?
48. Therefore you are to be perfect, as your
heavenly Father is perfect.
