suffer the same injury in return:
fracture for fracture, eye for eye,
tooth for tooth; the injury inflicted
is the injury to be suffered.

but you shall love your neighbor
as yourself: I am the LORD.

You have heard that it was said,
‘Love your neighbor & hate your enemy.’
But I tell you, love your enemies &
pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children
of your Father in heaven.
He causes his sun to rise on
the evil & the good, & sends rain
on the righteous & the unrighteous.
MATTHEW 5:43-48

But God proves His love for us in that
while we were still sinners
Christ died for us…
ROMANS 5:8

If you love those who love you,
what reward will you get?
Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
And if you greet only your own people,
what are you doing more than others?
Do not even pagans do that?
Be perfect, therefore, as your
heavenly Father is perfect.
MATTHEW 5:43-48
