Rabanus Maurus, on Matt 5:43
Rabanus Maurus · c. A.D. 780–856
Matt 5:43 · Douay-Rheims
“You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy.”
On this verse:
“If then sinners be led by nature to shew kindness to those that love them, with how much greater shew of affection ought you not to embrace even those that do not love you? For it follows, Do not even the publicans so? The publicans are those who collect the public imposts; or perhaps those who pursue the public business or the gain of this world.”
