Matthew 5:42-48

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴² Give to him that asketh of thee and from him that would borrow of thee turn not away.

⁴³ You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemy.

⁴⁴ But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you:

⁴⁵ That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust.

⁴⁶ For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do not even the publicans this?

⁴⁷ And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more? do not also the heathens this?

⁴⁸ Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect.
