Jesus commands truthfulness and love for enemies
Jesus taught His hearers to speak truthfully, refuse personal retaliation, give freely, and love and pray for their enemies. In this way they reflect their Father, who gives sun and rain to both the evil and the good (Matthew 5:33-48).

📖 Matthew 5:33–35
33Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’ 34But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
