45. that ye may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens; for he makes his sun rise on evil and good, and sends rain on just and unjust.
46. For if ye should love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not also the tax-gatherers the same?
47. And if ye should salute your brethren only, what do ye extraordinary? Do not also the Gentiles the same?
48. Be ye therefore perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.
