Bible verses about "enemies" | Godbey

⁴³ You have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy. ⁴⁴ But I say unto you, Love your enemies with a divine love, bless those who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you: ⁴⁵ in order that you may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because He raises up His sun on the wicked and on the good, and rains on the righteous and on the unrighteous. ⁴⁶ For if you love those that love you, what reward have ye? because the publicans also do the same. ⁴⁷ If you salute your brethren only, what do ye more abundantly? do not the heathens also the same thing? ⁴⁸ Therefore ye shall be perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

³⁴ And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing. And dividing His garments, they were casting the lots.

²⁰ But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink: for doing this you will heap coals of fire upon his head.

¹⁴ Bless them that persecute you; bless, and scold not.

²⁷ But I say unto you that hear, Love your enemies with divine love, and do good to those that hate you, ²⁸ bless those who curse you, and pray for those who despitefully use you. ²⁹ To the one smiting thee on the cheek turn the other also; and from the one taking away thy cloak do not withhold even the coat. ³⁰ Give to every one asking thee, and turn not away from the one taking thy possessions, ³¹ And as you wish that the people may do unto you, do ye unto them even likewise. ³² If you love those who love you, what grace is there to you? for even sinners love those who love them. ³³ And if you may do good to those doing good to you, what grace is there to you? for sinners also do the same. ³⁴ And if you may lend to those from whom you may hope to receive, what grace is there to you? for sinners lend to sinners, that they may receive back the equivalent. ³⁵ Moreover love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest: because He is good to the ungrateful and wicked. ³⁶ Therefore be ye merciful, as your Father is indeed merciful.
