“But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

Woe to you Pharisees! You love the best seats in the synagogues and elaborate greetings in the marketplaces!

“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to ungrateful and evil people.
