^{44 Ref} but I say unto you, love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;

^{45 Ref} that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust.

^{43 Ref} You have knowledge that it was said, Have love for your neighbour, and hate for him who is against you:
