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

^{44 Ref} But I say to you, Have love for those who are against you, and make prayer for those who are cruel to you;

^{45 Ref} So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner.

^{46 Ref} For if you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? do not the tax-farmers the same?

^{47 Ref} And if you say, Good day, to your brothers only, what do you do more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same?

^{48 Ref} Be then complete in righteousness, even as your Father in heaven is complete.

^{43 Ref} Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy:

^{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.

^{46 Ref} For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

^{47 Ref} And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more `than others?' do not even the Gentiles the same?

^{48 Ref} Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

^{43 Ref} Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

^{44 Ref} 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;

^{45 Ref} 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.

^{46 Ref} For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

^{47 Ref} And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

^{48 Ref} Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
