You have heard that it was said, 'hate your enemy "!
The value of the Old Testament is its vivid sense of God's presence
already expressed in the creation, this presence becomes more "tangible" in the history of the Jewish people, who holds the "Home" in the tent in the desert before, and in the temple, later. Moses understood this privilege and its consequences.
presence of God is "holy" to require a result that his people are "holy," not only diligently observing the liturgical norms, but also transforming their way of life (I Read ).
The fact that Jesus requires from us the perfection of the Father shows us that there is in this capacity, he avendoci transformed into true children of God Hence the need to overcome even the correct behavior of publicans and Gentiles, just to show that we have become "children of Our heavenly Father "(Gospel).
Paul recalls the image of "House," now we realized, "temple of God," in which "dwells the Spirit of God." Possessing faith in this true "wisdom," we are careful not to destroy this "holy temple of God, which is us.
