43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor. (Leviticus 19:18) Hate your enemy.'
44 But here is what I tell you. Love your enemies. Pray for those who hurt you.
45 Then you will be sons of your Father who is in heaven. "He causes his sun to shine on evil people and good people. He sends rain on those who do right and those who don't.
