Matthew 5:45-47

International Children’s Bible

⁴⁵ If you do this, then you will be true sons of your Father in heaven. Your Father causes the sun to rise on good people and on bad people. Your Father sends rain to those who do good and to those who do wrong. ⁴⁶ If you love only the people who love you, then you will get no reward. Even the tax collectors do that. ⁴⁷ And if you are nice only to your friends, then you are no better than other people. Even people without God are nice to their friends.
