Matthew 5:44-47

44But I sayG3004 to you, 1loveG25 your enemiesG2190 and prayG4336 for thoseG3588 who persecuteG1377 you,

45soG3704 thatG3704 you may prove yourselves to be 2sonsG5207 of your FatherG3962 whoG3588 is in heavenG3772; for He causesG393 His sunG2246 to riseG393 on the evilG4190 and the goodG18, and sendsG1026 rainG1026 on the righteousG1342 and the unrighteousG94.

46For 3ifG1437 you loveG25 thoseG3588 who loveG25 you, whatG5101 rewardG3408 doG4160 you haveG2192? EvenG2532 the taxG5057 collectorsG5057, do they not doG4160 the sameG846?

47And ifG1437 you greetG782 onlyG3440 your brothersG80 and sisters, whatG5101 moreG4053 are you doingG4160 than others? EvenG2532 the GentilesG1482, do they not doG4160 the sameG846?
