What does the Bible say about loving enemies?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches us to love our enemies, do good to those who hate us, and pray for those who mistreat us (Luke 6:27-28).

In Luke 6:27-38, Jesus explicitly instructs His followers to love their enemies, emphasizing that true Christian charity extends beyond mere goodwill towards friends. This kind of love is characterized by actions such as doing good to those who despise us and praying for our persecutors. By following these commandments, believers reflect the unconditional love of Christ, who loved us despite our sinfulness.
