Love Your Enemies
27 "But I say to you who listen: Love your enemies, do what is good to those who hate you,28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 6:28 Mt 5:4432 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 6:32 Mt 5:4633 If you do what is good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.35 But love your enemies, do what is good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High. 6:35 Mt 5:45; Lk 1:32For he is gracious to the ungrateful and evil.36 Be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. 6:36 Mt 5:7,48; Jms 5:11
