Matthew 5:41-47

41Whoever 1forces you to go one mile, go with him two. 422Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.

43“3You have heard that it was said, ‘4You shall love your neighbor 5and hate your enemy.’ 44But I say to you, 6love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45so that you may 7be 8sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46For 9if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
