Love for Enemies 43“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighborLev. 19:18 and hate your enemy.’44But I tell you: Love your enemiesSome late manuscripts enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you and pray for those who persecute you,45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.Topics: Jesus love of teaching your fire opposition kindness enemy christian_liberty enemies real conflict favoritism jesus_instruction
