Concerning Your Enemies?

Concerning Your Enemies?

Behold, all those who are angered at you
will be shamed and dishonored;
Those who contend with you will be
as nothing and will perish.

You will seek those who quarrel with you,
but will not find them,
Those who war with you will be
as nothing and non-existent.

Isaiah 41:11,12 NASB

"You have heard that the law of Moses says,

'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy'.

But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and on the unjust, too.

If you love only those who love you, what good is that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that.

Matthew 5:43-47 NLT
