The main point of this text (and of all of Matthew 5:21-48) is v. 48. The inference that Jesus draws from these six antitheses is "Therefore be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect." The high point of the sixth antithesis (vv. 43-47) is v. 43, where Jesus gives two imperatives: love, pray for. The purpose driving these imperatives is given in v. 45a: "so that you may be sons of your father in heaven," and according to v. 45b God is the preeminent lover of his enemies and friends, kindly sending sun and rain on the evil and on the good.
