Read the leg.
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES · MATTHEW 5:44 runs down the outer left leg in spaced red capitals, the same red as Jesus' words on the matching hoodie, with a small red CIC at the hip. Quiet enough for everyday, and it starts the conversation the hoodie finishes.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor
and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,
Matthew 5:43-44, World English Bible
The context. This is the Sermon on the Mount. Six times Jesus says, “You have heard that it was said… but I tell you,” and each time he goes deeper than the rule, not around it. “Love your neighbor” is Scripture (Leviticus 19:18). “Hate your enemy” is not written anywhere in the Law; it was the part people added to make the command smaller. Jesus does not cross out the command. He removes the limit. The next verse gives the reason: so that you may be children of your Father in heaven, who sends sun and rain on the evil and the good. None of us came to God as his friend. He loved us first, and now he asks us to love like that. Nobody manages this on willpower. It is grace before it is a task.
