# Connecting Statement:
Jesus continues to speak to his disciples and the crowd who is listening to him as well.
# to you who are listening
Jesus now begins to speak to the entire crowd, rather than just to his disciples. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-participants]])
# love ... do good
Each of these commands is to be followed continually, not just a single time.
# love your enemies and
This does not mean those listening were to only love their enemies and not their friends. This can be stated clearly. Alternate translation: "love your enemies, not only your friends, and" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
