Matthew 5:42-48

Goodspeed(i) 42 If anyone begs from you, give to him, and when anyone wants to borrow from you, do not turn away. 43 "You have heard that they were told, 'You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for your persecutors, 45 so that you may show yourselves true sons of your Father in heaven, for he makes his sun rise on bad and good alike, and makes the rain fall on the upright and the wrongdoers. 46 For if you love only those who love you, what reward can you expect? Do not the very tax-collectors do that? 47 And if you are polite to your brothers and no one else, what is there remarkable in that? Do not the very heathen do that? 48 So you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is.
