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 them who curse you; do good to them who hate you; and pray for them who arraign and persecute you;
45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven, who makes his sun arise on bad and good, and sends rain on just and unjust.
46 For if you love them only who love you, what reward can you expect? Do not even the publicans so?
47 And if you salute your brothers only, wherein do you excel? Do not even the Pagans as much?
48 Be you therefore perfect, as your father who is in heaven is perfect.
