Matthew 5:47
And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
Note NU reads “Gentiles” instead of “tax collectors”.
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same?
