But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to
those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that
you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun
to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the
unjust. -Matthew 5:44-45
