Mathew 5: 1. Now
when Jesus saw the crowds, he went upon a mountainside and
sat down. His disciples came to him,
2. and he
began to teach them, saying: ...
38. "You
have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for
tooth'.
39. But I
tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes
you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40. And if
someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have
your cloak as well.
41. If
someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
42. Give to
the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who
wants to borrow from you."
