43 »Slišali ste, da je bilo rečeno: Ljubi svojega bližnjega in sovraži svojega sovražnika. 44 Jaz pa vam pravim: Ljubíte svoje sovražnike in molíte za tiste, ki vas preganjajo, 45 da boste postali sinovi svojega Očeta, ki je v nebesih. On namreč daje svojemu soncu, da vzhaja nad hudobnimi in dobrimi, ter pošilja dež pravičnim in krivičnim. 46 Če namreč ljubite tiste, ki ljubijo vas, kakšno plačilo vas čaka? Mar tega ne delajo tudi cestninarji? 47 In če pozdravljate le svoje brate, kaj delate posebnega? Mar tega ne delajo tudi pogani? 48 Bodite torej popolni, kakor je popoln vaš nebeški Oče.«

2 Kor 8,1-92 Kor 8,1-9
English: World English Bible - WEB
8 ¹ Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia; ² how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality. ³ For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord, ⁴ begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints. ⁵ This was not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God. ⁶ So we urged Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace. ⁷ But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that you also abound in this grace. ⁸ I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
