Devilish, Human, or Divine

Matthew 5:43-44a
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies..."
"To return evil for good is devilish;
to return good for good is human;
to return good for evil is divine."

- Alfred Plummer, from his 1915 commentary on Matthew,
quoted by D. A. Carson.
