LOVE YOUR ENEMIES

'We are to serve our enemy in all things without hypocrisy and with utter sincerity. No sacrifice which a lover would make for his beloved is too great for us to make for our enemy. If out of love for our brother we are willing to sacrifice goods, honour and life, we must be prepared to do the same for our enemy.'
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship, p.97.
