In context

⁴²Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

⁴³You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

⁴⁴But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

⁴⁵That you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

⁴⁶If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?
