43 'You heard that it was said: You shall love your neighbor, and shall hate your enemy;

44 but I -- I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting you,

45 that you may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because His sun He does cause to rise on evil and good, and He does send rain on righteous and unrighteous.

46 'For, if you may love those loving you, what reward have you? Do not also the tax-gatherers the same?

47 And if you may salute your brethren only, what do you abundant? Do not also the tax-gatherers so?

48 You shall therefore be perfect, as your Father whois in the heavens is perfect.
