LOVE YOUR ENEMIES

"YOU have heard that it was said:love your neighbor and hate your enemy.

But I TELL YOU,LOVE your enemies but to you who are listening I say:love your enemies,do good to those who hateyou,bless thosewho curse you,and pray for those who persecute you mistreat you.that you may be children of your fthr in heaven.he causes hi sun to rise on the evil and the good,and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. if you love those who love you what reward will you get?are not even the taxcollectors doing that? even snners love them..

And if you greet only your own people,what are you doing more than others?do not even pagans do that?AND if do good to those who are good to you,what credit is that to you?Even sinners do that.

AND if you lend tothose from whom you expect repayment,what credit is that to you?even sinners lend to sinners,expecting to be repaid in full.

but love your enemies,do good to them,and lend to them without expecting to get anything back,then your reward will be great,and you will be children of the most high,because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

BE merciful,just as your father is mercilful."
