"that you may be children of your Abba who is in upward-vision: for the same maketh the sun to rise on the misery-gushing and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust."
After teaching us love our enemies and to "toward-good-have" those who persecute us, Jesus make clear the result of this non-violent love: we are then children of our Abba who is in upward-vision. And this is the same One who oversees the indiscriminate sunlight. Rather than "the evil and the righteous", the Etymological New Testament has more literally "the misery-gushing" and "the just." There are those humans who are passionate about justice/righteousness. And there are those who gush with misery/evil. Yet, upward-vision's sunlight blesses all. And so should we.
