your neighbor[a] and
hate your enemy.’ 44 But
I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children 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. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will
you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you
doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is
perfect.
