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 prove yourselves to be 7sons 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 8if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Even the tax collectors, do they not do the same? 47And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Even the Gentiles, do they not do the same?
