Matthew 5:44-47

44But I say to you, 1love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45so that you may 2be 3sons 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 4if 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?
