5:38 Teaching about being taken advantage of

(Luke 6:29-30)

38 [ref]“You’ve all heard it said that it’s an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, 39 but I’m telling you not to resist those who want to hurt you. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn your left cheek towards them, 40 and to the person suing you in court and claiming your robe, let them have your coat as well. 41 And if someone forces you to walk a mile, walk two miles with them. 42 Give whatever others request from you and don’t turn away from anyone who wants to borrow from you.

5:38: Exo 21:24; Lev 24:20; Deu 19:21.

38 You _all _heard that it _was _said:
Eye for an_eye and tooth for a_tooth.
39 But I am _saying to _you _all, not to _resist against _the evil, but whoever is _slapping you you on the right cheek, of _you turn to _him also the other, 40 and to _the one willing you to _be _judged and to _take the tunic of _you, allow your coat to _him also, 41 and whoever will _be _compelling you one mile, be _going with him two.
42 Give to _the one requesting you, and you _may_ not _be _turned _away to _the one wanting to _borrow from you.
