44but I say unto you, love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;

45that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust.

46For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others?] do not even the Gentiles the same?

48Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
