Matthew 5:46-48

46 ^aFor if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters. The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to brothers or to brothers and sisters} what more are you doing than others? Do not even ^cthe Gentiles do the same? 48 ^dYou therefore must be ^eperfect, ^fas your heavenly Father is perfect.
