Matthew 5:43-45

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Some Say Hate Your Enemies. I Say Love Them And Pray For Them

⁴³ “You heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy’. ⁴⁴ But I say to you, be loving your enemies, and be praying for the ones persecuting you, ⁴⁵ so that you may prove-to-be^[a] sons of your Father^[b] in the heavens— because He causes His sun to rise upon evil and good ones, and He sends rain upon righteous and unrighteous ones.
