Matthew 5:43-48 - The Sermon On The Mount: Love For Enemies
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 insult you and persecute you: 45 that you may be the sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun to rise upon the evil and the good, and causes it to 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 publicans the same? 47 And if you salute your brethren only, in what do you excel? Do not even the publicans so? 48 Be you therefore perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
