'You
have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But
I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on
the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
'And
if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your
cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two
miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the
one who wants to borrow from you.'
'You
have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
But I tell you: Love your enemies and
pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your
Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good,
and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those
who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors
doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing
more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore,
as your heavenly Father is perfect.'
