Matthew 5:38-42
International Standard Version
Teaching about Retaliation(A)
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’[a] 39 But I tell you not to resist an evildoer. On the contrary, whoever slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other to him as well. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat as well. 41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile,[b] go two with him. 42 Give to the person who asks you for something, and do not turn away from the person who wants to borrow something from you.”
