When you go into a house, say, 'Peace be with you.'

"If you love only the people who love you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners love those who love them!

Don't take a purse or a beggar's bag or shoes; don't stop to greet anyone on the road.

Whenever you go into a house, first say, 'Peace be with this house.'

I tell you, then, that you will be able to enter the Kingdom of heaven only if you are more faithful than the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees in doing what God requires.

For what credit is there if you endure the beatings you deserve for having done wrong? But if you endure suffering even when you have done right, God will bless you for it.
