“For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?”
Matthew 5:46 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 5:46
Loving only those who love you merits no special reward—even corrupt tax collectors do that much. Such reciprocal love is natural, requiring no grace. Kingdom love goes beyond natural affection to supernatural love for enemies, reflecting God's character rather than mere human capacity.
