Mateus 5

43 You’ve heard that the law said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’*5:43. Quoting Leviticus 19:18. 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so you may become children of your heavenly Father. For his sun shines on both the good and the bad; and he makes the rain fall on both those who do right and those who do wrong. 46 For if you only love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do that? 47 If you only speak kindly to your family, what more are you doing than anyone else? Even the heathen*5:47 Literally, "nations," or "Gentiles." A common term used in the New Testament to identify non-Jews, those regarded as not following the true God. do that! 48 Grow up and become completely trustworthy,*5:48. Literally, "perfect, complete, undivided, whole, mature." The idea here is of a way of life totally dedicated to God rather than focusing on some abstract concept of perfection. The focus is on spiritual maturity which translates into being someone dependable, someone who can always be trusted. just as your heavenly Father is trustworthy."
