45. that ye may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because His sun He doth cause to rise on evil and good, and He doth send rain on righteous and unrighteous.
46. `For, if ye may love those loving you, what reward have ye? do not also the taxgatherers the same?
47. and if ye may salute your brethren only, what do ye abundant? do not also the taxgatherers so?
48. ye shall therefore be perfect, as your Father who [is] in the heavens is perfect.
