Luke 6:34-35

Love Your Enemies

³⁴ And _a if you _b lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. ³⁵ But _c love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and _d you will be sons of _e the Most High, for _f he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.
