1 And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.

44 But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
ⲙ̅ⲇ̅⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲙⲉⲛⲣⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ.
45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

47 And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the non-Jews do the same?

48 You therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
