<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Corinthians 3:10-16  (English Standard Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

10 <\/sup>According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it.<\/span> 11 <\/sup>For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.<\/span> 12 <\/sup>Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw\u2014<\/span> 13 <\/sup>each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.<\/span> 14 <\/sup>If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward.<\/span> 15 <\/sup>If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

16 <\/sup>Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 5:38-48  (English Standard Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Retaliation<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

38 <\/sup>\u201cYou have heard that it was said, \u2018An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.\u2019<\/span><\/span> 39 <\/sup>But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.<\/span><\/span> 40 <\/sup>And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.<\/span><\/span> 41 <\/sup>And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.<\/span><\/span>42 <\/sup>Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love Your Enemies<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

43 <\/sup>\u201cYou have heard that it was said, \u2018You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.\u2019<\/span><\/span> 44 <\/sup>But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,<\/span><\/span> 45 <\/sup>so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.<\/span><\/span> 46 <\/sup>For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?<\/span><\/span> 47 <\/sup>And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?<\/span><\/span> 48 <\/sup>You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
