New American Standard Bible 1995
Matthew 5:43-48
43“1You have heard that it was said, ‘2You shall love your neighbor 3and hate your enemy.’
44But I say to you, 4love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45so that you may 5be 6sons 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 7if 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?
48Therefore 89you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
