Matthew 5:38-42

New Life Version

Jesus Teaches about Fighting

³⁸ “You have heard that it has been said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ ³⁹ But I tell you, do not fight with the man who wants to fight. Whoever hits you on the right side of the face, turn so he can hit the other side also. ⁴⁰ If any person takes you to court to get your shirt, give him your coat also. ⁴¹ Whoever makes you walk a short way, go with him twice as far. ⁴² Give to any person who asks you for something. Do not say no to the man who wants to use something of yours.
