Matthew 5:38–45

RevengeYou know that you have been taught, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you not to try to get even with a person who has done something to you. When someone slaps your right cheek, turn and let that person slap your other cheek. If someone sues you for your shirt, give up your coat as well. If a soldier forces you to carry his pack one kilometre, carry it two kilometres. When people ask you for something, give it to them. When they want to borrow money, lend it to them.

LoveYou have heard people say, ‘Love your neighbours and hate your enemies.’ But I tell you to love your enemies and pray for anyone who ill-treats you. Then you will be acting like your Father in heaven.
