If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don't even the tax collectors do the same?
As you enter into the household, greet it.
For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Perushim, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same?
Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.
Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly that is in his house.
For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.
