American Standard Version
"For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? "
— Matthew 5:46, American Standard Version
“For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?”
“For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same?”
“For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Even the tax collectors do the same, don’t they?”
“For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do not even the publicans this?”
“For if you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? do not the tax-farmers the same?”
“For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?”
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy:
but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;
that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust.
For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same?
Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
