Disciples’ Literal New Testament (DLNT)
Matthew 5:38-42
Some Say Avenge an Eye For an Eye. I Say Do Not Retaliate, But Do The Opposite
38 “You heard that it was said, ‘An eye for[a] an eye, and a tooth for a tooth’. 39 But I say to you not to resist[b] the evil person. But whoever slaps[c] you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 And to the one wanting to sue you and take your tunic[d], permit him also the cloak. 41 And whoever will press you into service[e] for one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to the one asking you, and do not turn away from the one wanting to borrow from you.
