Are you only kind to those who are kind to you?

[krsna]

A great devotee of thr Lord said:

 

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy

neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse

you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which

despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45

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 rain on the just and on the unjust.

46

For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not

even the publicans the same?

47

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than

others? do not even the publicans so?

48

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven

is perfect.
