Matthew 5:38-40

38“1You have heardG191 that it was saidG3004, ‘2An eyeG3788 for an eyeG3788, and a toothG3599 for a toothG3599.’

39But I sayG3004 to you, do not resistG436 an evilG4190 person; but 3whoeverG3748 slapsG4474 you on your rightG1188 cheekG4600, turnG4762 the otherG243 to him alsoG2532.

40If anyone wantsG2309 to sueG2919 you and takeG2983 your 4shirtG5509, letG863 him haveG863 your 5coatG2440 alsoG2532.
