That way you’ll be the children of your Father who is in heaven. He causes his sun to shine on bad people and good people, and he sends rain on those who do right and those who don’t.
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then you will have a great reward. You will be children of the Most High God, who is kind to people who do wrong and are ungrateful.
But he still gave proof of what he’s like. He showed you kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons. He provided you with plenty of food and filled your hearts with joy.”
Then you’ll be pure and blameless, “children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation.” Then you’ll shine within your generation like stars in the universe
