Matthew 5:44
_ _ But I say unto you, Love your enemies — The word here used denotes moral love, as distinguished from the other word, which expresses personal affection. Usually, the former denotes “complacency in the character” of the person loved; but here it denotes the benignant, compassionate outgoings of desire for another’s good.
_ _ bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you — The best commentary on these matchless counsels is the bright example of Him who gave them. (See 1 Peter 2:21-24; and compare Romans 12:20, Romans 12:21; 1 Corinthians 4:12; 1 Peter 3:9). But though such precepts were never before expressed — perhaps not even conceived — with such breadth, precision, and sharpness as here, our Lord is here only the incomparable Interpreter of the law in force from the beginning; and this is the only satisfactory view of the entire strain of this discourse. |

And the men which were expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria.

1 Corinthians 4:12- 13 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: ... Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, [ and are] the offscouring of all things unto this day.
1 Corinthians 13:4- 8 Charity suffereth long, [ and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, ...
