³⁵ But ^(A)love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and ^(B)you will be sons of ^(C)the Most High, for ^(D)he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.

⁴⁴ But I say to you, ^(A)Love your enemies and ^(B)pray for those who persecute you, ^45 (C)so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and ^(D)sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

^35 (A)By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

⁸ but ^(A)God shows his love for us in that ^(B)while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹ Since, therefore, ^(C)we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from ^(D)the wrath of God. ¹⁰ For if ^(E)while we were enemies ^(F)we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by ^(G)his life.

Kindness for Poor Brothers

³⁵ “If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, ^(A)you shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you. ^36 (B)Take no interest from him or profit, but ^(C)fear your God, that your brother may live beside you. ^37 (D)You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit.

⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ^(A)though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
