Matt.5
[
43] Ye have heard that it hath been said (taught to you):
Thou shalt
love thy neighbour, and
hate thine enemy.
[
44] But I (the lawgiver of Israel) say unto you,
Love your enemies,
bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you,
and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
[
45] That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven:
for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good,
and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
1 Thes.5
[
14] Now we exhort you, brethren,
warn those who are unruly, (disobedient in any teaching)
comfort the feebleminded, support the weak,
be patient toward all men.
[
15] See that no one renders evil for evil unto any man;
but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
[
16] Rejoice evermore (in fellowship with Jesus)
Grace to you,
