| 38 | "You have heard that it was said, `An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' |
| 39 | But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; |
| 40 | and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; |
| 41 | and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. |
| 42 | Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you. |
| 43 | "You have heard that it was said, `You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' |
| 44 | But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, |
| 45 | so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. |
