46For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Even the tax collectors do the same, don’t they? 47And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do? Even the Gentiles do the same, don’t they? 48So then, be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
35But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to ungrateful and evil people. 36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
