The Superior Standard: Non-Retaliation

Matthew 5:38-42

`Ye heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth;

but I--I say to you, not to resist the evil, but whoever shall slap thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other;

and whoever is willing to take thee to law, and thy coat to take--suffer to him also the cloak.

`And whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two,

to him who is asking of thee be giving, and him who is willing to borrow from thee thou mayest not turn away.
