43 "You have heard that it was said, ‘You must love your neighbor’and hate your enemy.
44 But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
45 so that you will become children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and he lets rain fall on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Even the tax collectors do the same, don't they?
47 And if you greet only your brothers, what great thing are you doing? Even the Gentilesdo the same, don't they?
48 So be perfect,as your heavenly Father is perfect."
