Matthew 5

(43) [Jesus said] ‘You have heard that it was said, YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.' (44) ‘"But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, (45) so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

James 2

(14) What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? (15) If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, (16) and one of you says to them, "" Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,'' and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? (17) Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself. (18 ) But someone may well say, ""You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.'' (19) You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.
