And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax-collectors do so?
And when you come into a house, greet it.
For I say to you that unless your righteousness shall exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax-collectors do the same?
Therefore be perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.
For if you love those who love you, what thanks do you have? For sinners also love those who love them.
Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church in his house.
For what glory is it if you patiently endure while sinning and being buffeted? But if you suffer while doing good, and patiently endure, this is a grace from God.
