41 If a soldier forces you to go with him one mile, then go with him two miles.

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemies.’
44 But I tell you, love your enemies. Pray for those who hurt you.
45 If you do this, then you will be true sons of your Father in heaven. Your Father causes the sun to rise on good people and on bad people. Your Father sends rain to those who do good and to those who do wrong.
