Matthew 5:43-45
New Matthew Bible
43 You have heard how it is said, You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy. 44 But I say to you, love your enemies. Bless those who curse you. Do good to those who hate you. Pray for those who do you wrong and persecute you, 45 so that you may be the children of your Father that is in heaven. For he makes his sun to arise on the evil and on the good, and sends his rain on the just and the unjust.
