Love your enemies; bless those who curse you; do good to those who hate you; and pray for those who insult you and persecute you
108
Lesson 108 - Acts 5-7
- Love your enemies; bless those who curse you; do good to those who hate you; and pray for those who insult you and persecute you Matthew 5:44-47 But I 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; 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. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
