Matthew 5:44-46

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴⁴ But I tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,^(A)

^45 [a]To show that you are the children of your Father Who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and makes the rain fall upon the upright and the wrongdoers [alike].

⁴⁶ For if you love those who love you, what reward can you have? Do not even the tax collectors do that?
