Matthew 5:38-42
Retaliation
38 a“You have heard that it was said, b‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, aDo not resist the one who is evil. But bif anyone cslaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And aif anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41 And if anyone aforces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 aGive to the one who begs from you, and bdo not refuse the one who would borrow from you.
