38 You've heard that the law said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’39 But I tell you, don't resist someone who is evil. If someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other cheek to them as well.40 If someone wants to sue you in court and takes your shirt, give them your coat too.41 If someone demands that you go one mile, go with them two.42 Give to those who ask you, and don't turn away those who want to borrow from you.43 You've heard that the law said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,45 so you may become children of your heavenly Father. For his sun shines on both the good and the bad; and he makes the rain fall on both those who do right and those who do wrong.46 For if you only love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax-collectors do that?47 If you only speak kindly to your family, what more are you doing than anyone else? Even the heathen do that!48 Grow up and become completely trustworthy, just as your heavenly Father is trustworthy.”

Matthew 5: 38-48
