You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.

For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust - Matthew 5:43-45
If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil - Luke 6:32-35
