Matthew 5:36-39

36And don’t swear an oath by your head. After all, you cannot make one hair black or white.

37Simply say yes or no. Anything more than that comes from the evil one.

38“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’

39But I tell you not to oppose an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn your other cheek to him as well.
