Matthew 5:46-48

Expanded Bible

⁴⁶ [^LFor] If you love only the people who love you, ·you will get no reward [what reward is there for that?]. ·Even [^LDon’t even…?] the tax collectors do that. ⁴⁷ And if you ·are nice only to your friends [^Lgreet only your brothers; ^Cprobably meaning fellow Jews], ·you are no better than other people [^Lwhat more are you doing (than others)?]. Even ·those who don’t know God [the Gentiles; pagans] ·are nice to their friends [^Ldo the same]. ⁴⁸ ·So [Therefore] you must be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
