Matthew 5:38-41

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

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

40And if anyone wants to sue you and take your 4tunic, let him have your 5cloak also.

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