Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say to you, Love your enemies, praise them cursing you, do well to them hating you, and pray for them threatening you, and driving you out. So that ye might be sons of your Father, which in the heavens: for he makes his sun rise upon evil and good, and rains on the just and unjust. read more.

Jesus Christ » History of » Delivers the "sermon on the mount" (in galilee)
And he having lifted up his eyes upon his disciples, said, Happy the poor, for yours is the kingdom of God Happy the hungering now: for ye shall be satisfied. Happy the weeping now: for ye shall laugh. Happy are ye, when men hate you, and when they separate you, and reproach, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. read more.
Rejoice in that day, and skip: for, behold, your reward much in heaven: for according to these did their fathers to the prophets. But woe to you rich for ye take away your consolation. Woe to you having been filled for ye shall hunger. Woe to you laughing now! for ye shall grieve and weep. Woe to you when all men speak well of you! for according to these did their fathers to the false prophets. But I say to you hearing, Love your enemies; do good to those hating you, Praise those cursing you, and pray for those threatening you. To him striking thee upon the cheek hold also near the other; and from him taking away thy garments, and thou shouldest not retrench thy coat.

Be ye therefore compassionate, as also your Father is compassionate. And judge not, and ye should not be judged: condemn not, and ye should not be condemned: loose ye, and ye shall be loosed. Give, and it shall be given you; good measure, yielded, and shaken, and overflowed, shall they give into your bosom: for with the same measure that ye measure, shall it be measured back to you. And he spake to them a parable, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? For the learner is not above his teacher: and every one set in order shall be as his teacher. And why beholdest thou the dried straw in thy brother's eye, and perceivest not the beam in thine own eye? Or how Canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, suffer that I cast out the mote in thine eye, thyself not beholding the beam in thine eye? O hypocrite, cast out first the beam from thine own eye, and then shalt thou see through to cast out the mote in thy brother's eye. For it is not a good tree making decayed fruit; neither a decayed tree making good fruit. For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns they gather not figs, nor of the bramble do they harvest the grape. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart, brings forward the good thing; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart, brings forward the evil thing: for out of the abundance of the heart does his month speak. And why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not what I say? Every one coming to me, and hearing my words, and doing them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like to a man building a house, who digged, and deepened, and set the foundation upon the rock: and there having been an overflow, the river dashed against that house, and was not able to move it: for it was founded upon the rock. And he having heard, and not having done, is like a man having built a house upon the earth, without a foundation; against which the river dashed, and immediately it fell; and the breaking of that house was great.
