Original Texts

King James Version Matthew 5:46, 47

46. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47. And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

Strong’s Greek Matthew 5:46, 47

ἐὰν ἀγαπήσητε τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας ὑμᾶς τίνα μισθὸν ἔχετε οὐχὶ καὶ τελῶναι ποιοῦσιν τὸ αὐτὸ

καὶ ἐὰν ἀσπάσησθε μόνον ὑμῶν ἀδελφοὺς τί ποιεῖτε περισσὸν οὐχὶ καὶ ἐθνικοὶ ποιοῦσιν τὸ αὐτὸ

Ean agapēsēte tous agapōntas hymas tina misthon echete ouchi kai telōnai poiousin to auto

Kai ean aspasēsthe monon hymōn adelphous ti poieite perisson ouchi kai ethnikoi poiousin to auto

46. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same

47. And if you greet only your brother, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?

Salkinson-Ginsburg Hebrew N.T. Matthew 5:46, 47 (Read Left To Right)

כִּי אִם־תֶּאֱהָבוּן אֶת־אֹהֲבֵיכֶם מַה־שָּׂכָר לָכֶם הֲלֹא גַם־הַמֹּכְסִים יַעֲשׂוּן כְּמוֹ־כֵן׃

וְאִם־תִּפְקְדוּ לְשָׁלוֹם רַק אֶת־אֲחֵיכֶם מַה־יִּתְרוֹן לָכֶם כֵּן יַעֲשׂוּן גַּם־הַמֹּכְסִים׃

kiy mthvvn thvykhm mehashoakhar lakhem halo gmhmkhsym yshvn k'mukhan׃

mv vmtfkdv lashׁalom rak tchykhm mehayit'ron lakhem ken yshvn gmhmkhsym׃

46. For if you love your loved ones, what is your reward, if not the publicans will also do likewise?

47. And if you submit to peace only your brothers, what will be good for you?

Sabbath Prayer Requests

Please pray for Yah And Sons. I ask God to please direct this ministry in helping others as He wills it. I ask for prayers in wisdom understanding and knowledge in walking in His will.

Sabbath Bible Study

Yahusha is very good at painting a picture for His people to understand. Here in these two verses He references two very distinct characters that are despised most by the Jews...the Tax Collectors, and the Gentiles.

He makes a good point in bringing to the attention the similarities of characteristics in those the Jews hated most, and the Jews themselves.

These had to be very humbling statements to the Jews. And even more so for Matthew himself, the Author of this Gospel who was a Tax Collector before He met Yahusha.

All through the Gospels we can see Yahushas character and how it goes against our natural nature. He teaches us to do the things we don't really want to do.

He does this because this is how righteousness is sown into the world. This is how we sow righteousness into each other. How we treat each other, even our enemies, defines the world we live in.

We are all connected, so if we treat someone badly because they are our enemy, we are ultimately treating ourselves badly. Since everything is connected, it all comes back around.

Yahusha brings Grace, since Grace has been bestowed upon us without measure, it is our duty as Sons and Daughters of Yah to be examples of that Grace. Yahusha teaches us to spread Grace and not wait on karma.

We might not think someone deserves our love or our attention, but that's not what Yahusha would do. Yahusha didn't want to go on the cross. He was praying for deliverance in the Garden.

Yet, He obeyed the Father and performed the duty that was required of Him.

Our Father requires a duty from us as well, as our cup runneth over with Grace and Mercy. Yahusha is our example of how to apply that same Grace and Mercy to others in our lives.

The one thing that I see the most, the struggle that people have more than anything, is forgiveness. Forgiveness is the peak of Grace and Mercy.

Grace is getting what we don't deserve, and Mercy is NOT getting what we do deserve.

We have to remember these principles and apply them every day in our lives towards others. This is our walk with Christ. We have to love the Judas and Barabbas in our lives. We have to love our enemies, just as Yahusha loved His.

Because remember, that Judas, and that Barabbas, that's me, and that's you.
