# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Jesus continues to speak to his disciples and the crowd who is listening to him as well.
|
|
|
|
# to you who are listening
|
|
|
|
Jesus now begins to speak to the entire crowd, rather than just to his disciples. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-participants]])
|
|
|
|
# love ... do good ... Bless ... pray
|
|
|
|
Each of these commands is to be followed continually, not just a single time.
|
|
|
|
# love your enemies
|
|
|
|
This does not mean they were to only love their enemies and not their friends. This can be stated. Alternate translation: "Love your enemies, not only your friends" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
|
|
|
|
# love ... do good to
|
|
|
|
These two phrases mean the same thing, and together emphasize the point. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])
