And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more? do not also the heathens this?
And if you love them that love you, what thanks are to you? for sinners also love those that love them.
For I tell you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
For what glory is it, if committing sin, and being buffeted for it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently; this is thankworthy before God.
And when you come into the house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house.
For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do not even the publicans this?
Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect.
Luke, the most dear physician, saluteth you: and Demas.
Salute the brethren who are at Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church that is in his house.
