The Sermon on the Mount: Retaliation

The Sermon on the Mount: Retaliation

38“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’[fn] 39But I say to you, do not resist the evildoer, but whoever strikes you on the right cheek,[fn] turn the other to him also. 40And the one who wants to go to court with you and take your tunic, let him have[fn] your outer garment also. 41And whoever forces you to go one mile,[fn] go with him two. 42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
