Love Your Enemies

Love Your Enemies

(Leviticus 24:17–23, Luke 6:27–36)

38You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’[fn] 39But I tell you not to resist an evil [person]. [If] someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also; 40if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have [your] cloak as well; 41and if someone forces you to go one mile,[fn] go with him two [miles].[fn] 42Give to the [one] who asks you, and do not turn away from the [one] who wants to borrow from you.

43You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’[fn] and ‘Hate your enemy.’ 44But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,[fn] 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun {to rise} on [the] evil and [the] good, and sends rain on [the] righteous and [the] unrighteous. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.[’’]
