proof of the word of god. look how many people are filled with wrath and anger, so quick to abandon jesus to engage in sadistic pleasures of writing scornful smug comments. jesus is worth less than this to them. > enter through the narrow gate. for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. but small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." > if the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. if you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. as it is, you do not belong to the world, but i have chosen you out of the world. that is why the world hates you. remember what i told you: a servant is not greater than his master. if they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. if they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. they will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me." > you have heard that it was said, love your neighbor and hate your enemy. but i tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your father in heaven. he causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. if you love those who love you, what reward will you get? are not even the tax collectors doing that? and if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? do not even pagans do that? be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly father is perfect." > you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, you shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.but i tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, raca, is answerable to the court. and anyone who says, you fool! will be in danger of the fire of hell.
