Matthew 5
1 On seeing the crowds of people, Jesus went up the hill; and, when he had taken his seat, his disciples came up to him;

44 But what I tell you is this: 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 so that you may become children of your Father who is in heaven; for he causes his sun to rise on bad and good alike, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.

46 For, if you love only those who love you, what reward will you have? Even the tax collectors do this!

47 And, if you only welcome your brothers and sisters, what are you doing more than others? Even the Gentiles do this!

48 You, then, must become perfect – as your heavenly Father is perfect.
