45 Para que sejais filhos de vosso Pai que está nos céus; porque ele faz seu sol sair sobre maus e bons, e chover sobre justos e injustos.
46 Pois se amardes os que vos amam, que recompensa tereis? Não fazem os publicanos também o mesmo?
47 E se saudardes somente os vossos irmãos, o que fazeis de mais? Não fazem os publicanos também assim?
48 Portanto, sede vós perfeitos, assim como vosso Pai que está nos céus é perfeito.
