Loving Neighbors and Enemies

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

'Love your enemies, bless them that curse you... pray for them which despitefully use you.'

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;

'Love your enemies, bless them that curse you... pray for them which despitefully use you.'

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.

'Love your enemies, bless them that curse you... pray for them which despitefully use you.'

For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

'Love your enemies, bless them that curse you... pray for them which despitefully use you.'

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

'Love your enemies, bless them that curse you... pray for them which despitefully use you.'

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

'Love your enemies, bless them that curse you... pray for them which despitefully use you.'
