Matthew 5:46-47
46 Do you only love people who love you? God will not give you good things just for doing that. Even the men who take taxes love their friends!
5:46The men who took taxes for the Roman government took the money from their own people, the Jews. They often took more money than they should have taken. So people hated the men who took taxes from them.
47 If you are only kind to your friends, then you are not doing anything special. Even people who do not believe in God do that.
