Matthew 5:43-45

⁴³ You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy;^(A)

⁴⁴ But I tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,^(B)

^45 [a]To show that you are the children of your Father Who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and makes the rain fall upon the upright and the wrongdoers [alike].
