Berean Standard Bible
Matthew 5:41-47
41and if someone forces you to go one mile,1 go with him two miles.2 42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
43You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’3 and ‘Hate your enemy.’ 44But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,4 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?
