Matthew 5:47

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye above ordinary? and do not the tax collectors the same?

See the chapter Copy

And if ye love them loving you, what grace is to you? for also the sinful would love those loving them.

For I say to you, That except your justice abound more than the scribes and Pharisees, ye should not come into the kingdom of the heavens.

For what glory, if, sinning and being cuffed, ye endure? but if, doing good, and suffering, ye endure, this is grace with God.

And entering into a house, do ye greet it.

For if ye love them loving you, what reward. have you? do not also the tax collectors the same?

Therefore, be ye perfected, as your Father which is in the heavens is perfected.

Luke, the dearly beloved physician, greets you, and Demas.

Greet the brethren in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church in his house.
