16Look from your sanctuary, and your high habitation of heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the land which you have given us, as you did swear to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.

17This day the Lord your God has commanded you to do these commands and judgments: and to keep and fulfil them with all your heart, and with all your soul.

18You have chosen the Lord this day to be your God, and to walk in his ways and keep his ceremonies, and instructions, end judgments, and obey his command.

19And the Lord has chosen you this day, to be his peculiar people, as he has said to you, and to keep all his commands:

1Aleph

43You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.

44But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you:

45That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who makes his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the righteous and the unjust.

46For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do not even the tax collectors this?

47And if you salute your brothers and sisters only, what do you more? do not also the heathens this?

48Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect.
