Matthew 5:43-45 You have heard that it is said, Be kind to your friend, and hate your enemy.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴³ You have heard that it is said, Be kind to your friend, and hate your enemy. ⁴⁴ But I say to you, Love your enemies, and bless anyone who curses you, and do good to anyone who hates you, and pray for them who carry you away by force and persecute you, ⁴⁵ So that you may become sons of your Father who is in heaven, who causes his sun to shine upon the good and upon the bad, and who pours down his rain upon the just and upon the unjust.
