God’s Word Translation
Matthew 5:44-48
44But I tell you this: Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you.
45In this way you show that you are children of your Father in heaven. He makes his sun rise on people whether they are good or evil. He lets rain fall on them whether they are just or unjust.
46If you love those who love you, do you deserve a reward? Even the tax collectors do that!
47Are you doing anything remarkable if you welcome only your friends? Everyone does that!
48That is why you must be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.
