5 ⁴³ "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.' 5 ⁴⁴ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 5 ⁴⁵ so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 5 ⁴⁶ For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 5 ⁴⁷ And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 5 ⁴⁸ You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
