Eye for Eye

³⁸“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’^[a]^(A) ³⁹But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.^(B) ⁴⁰And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. ⁴¹If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. ⁴²Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.^(C)

And surely I am with you^(F) always, to the very end of the age.”^(G)
