Matthew 5:44-45 ▼

44 But I say to you, love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45 so that you may [show yourselves to] be the children of your Father who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on those who are evil and on those who are good, and makes the rain fall on the righteous [those who are morally upright] and the unrighteous [the unrepentant, those who oppose Him].
