Matthew 5:37-39
Worldwide English (New Testament)
37 You must mean "Yes" when you say "Yes". You must mean "No" when you say "No". To say anything more than that is wrong.'
38 `You have heard that the law says, "Take an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth."
39 But I tell you, do not fight with anyone who does wrong to you. But if someone hits you on one side of your face, turn the other side to him also.
