31. The Sermon on the Mount — Love for Enemies (Matthew 5:43~48)

5:43. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
5:44. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
5:45. That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
5:46. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same?
5:47. And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? Do not even the publicans so?
5:48. Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
