Matthew 5:36-39
36Nor shall you take an oath by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. 37But make sure your statement is, ‘1Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is 2of 3evil origin.
38“4You have heard that it was said, ‘5Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ 39But I say to you, do not show opposition against an evil person; but 6whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other toward him also.
