Matthew 5:38-40
1599 Geneva Bible
38 ¶ [a]Ye have heard that it hath been said, An (A)eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
39 But I say unto you, (B)Resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
