8 Key Scriptures

But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, vaunteth: or, is not rash
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
