And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
“If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God.
Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and greet no one on the road. Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house!’
As you enter the house, greet it.
