Matthew 5:37-39

New Century Version

³⁷ Say only yes if you mean yes, and no if you mean no. If you say more than yes or no, it is from the Evil One.

Don’t Fight Back

³⁸ “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’^{[a] 39} But I tell you, don’t stand up against an evil person. If someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other cheek also.
