neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you,
Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to
them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully
use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children
of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun
to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on
the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love
you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the
same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye
more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48Be ye
therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven
is perfect. Matt. 43-47.
