Matthew 5:38-41

38“1You have heard that it was said, ‘2An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’

39But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but 3whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

40If anyone wants to sue you and take your 4shirt, let him have your 5coat also.

41Whoever 6forces you to go one mile, go with him two.
