Chapter 25: Hate your enemies

1 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

2 But I say unto you which hear, feel not for your enemies, do what must be done to them which feel nothing, 3 Bless not them that curse you with their very existence, and do not pray for them which hunger for your very brain.

4 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth us to rain on the unjust.

5 For if ye spare them which loved you, what reward have ye? do not their new hungers draw them to you just the same? 6 And if ye spare your brethren only, what do ye profit? does not their time soon come?

7 Be ye therefore perfect killing things, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect when there is need.
