“43 ‘You have heard that it was said, “You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.” 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father 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. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? 48 Therefore, you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.’” Matthew 5:43-48 (RSVCE)

Imagine a scene from the Christian enlightenment era, capturing the essence of Matthew 5:43-48 (RSVCE). Portray two people, one showing kindness towards the other who appears to be an adversary. Their interaction should signify the act of loving enemies and doing good to those who hate. Reflect the idea of sun rising over both, the evil and the good, with a resilient and harmonious sunlight falling upon them. Also depict rain falling on the just and unjust, illustrating equality. No text or words should be visible in this image. Emulate this in a devotional, spiritual, and respectful archetype of the Renaissance period, with the use of hues that extol the moods of this era.

Matthew 5:43-48

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
