44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies with a divine love, bless those who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you: 45 in order that you may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because He raises up His sun on the wicked and on the good, and rains on the righteous and on the unrighteous. 46 For if you love those that love you, what reward have ye? because the publicans also do the same. 47 If you salute your brethren only, what do ye more abundantly? do not the heathens also the same thing? 48 Therefore ye shall be perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
