5:43 Love your enemies

(Luke 6:27-28, 32-36)

43 “You’ve all heard it said that you should love your neighbour and hate your enemy, 44 but I’m telling you to love your enemies and to pray for anyone who’s persecuting you, 45 so that you might become children of your father in the heavens, because he causes his sun to rise on both evil and good people, and sends the rain for both godly and ungodly people. 46 If you people just love people who love you, what reward would you expect for that? Don’t even the tax collectors do that? 47 And if you’re only polite to your own circle, how is that achieving anything? Aren’t non-Jews just the same? 48 Instead you should all aim to be perfect just like your heavenly father is perfect.[ref]

5:48: Lev 19:2; Deu 18:13.

43 You_all_heard that it_was_said:
You_will_be_loving the neighbour of_you, and you_will_be_hating the enemy of_you.

44 But I am_saying to_you_all, be_loving the enemies of_you_all, and be_praying for the ones persecuting you_all,

45 so_that you_all_may_become sons of_the father of_you_all who in the_heavens, because he_is_rising the sun of_him on evil and good, and is_raining on the_righteous and unrighteous.

46 For/Because if you_all_may_love the ones loving you_all, what reward are_you_all_having?
Not also the tax_collectors are_doing the same?

47 And if you_all_may_greet the brothers of_you_all only, what additional things are_you_all_doing?
Not also the pagans are_doing the same?

48 Therefore you_all will_be perfect as the heavenly father of_you_all the is perfect.
