Matthew 5:44-46

International Standard Version

⁴⁴ But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, ⁴⁵ so that you will become children of your Father in heaven, because he makes his sun rise on both evil and good people, and he lets rain fall on the righteous and the unrighteous. ⁴⁶ If you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Even the tax collectors do the same, don’t they?
