Matthew 5:38-41
38You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’1 39But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also; 40if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well; 41and if someone forces you to go one mile,2 go with him two miles.3
