Matthew 5:44 in Context — Matthew 5
42 Al que te pidiere, dale; y al que quisiere tomar de ti prestado, no se lo rehuses.
43 Oísteis que fué dicho: Amarás á tu prójimo, y aborrecerás á tu enemigo.
44 Mas yo os digo: Amad á vuestros enemigos, bendecid á los que os maldicen, haced bien á los que os aborrecen, y orad por los que os ultrajan y os persiguen;
45 Para que seáis hijos de vuestro Padre que está en los cielos: que hace que su sol salga sobre malos y buenos, y llueve sobre justos é injustos.
46 Porque si amareis á los que os aman, ¿qué recompensa tendréis? ¿no hacen también lo mismo los publicanos?
