Same Subject--Love to Enemies (Mt 5:43-48).
43. Ye have heard that it hath been said--
(Le 19:18).
Thou shalt love thy neighbour--To this the corrupt teachers added,
and hate thine enemy--as if the one were a legitimate inference from
the other, instead of being a detestable gloss, as
BENGEL indignantly
calls it. LIGHTFOOT quotes some of the cursed maxims inculcated by those
traditionists regarding the proper treatment of all Gentiles. No wonder
that the Romans charged the Jews with hatred of the human race.
