Matthew 5:38-40

International Standard Version

Teaching about Retaliation^(A)

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 not to resist an evildoer. On the contrary, whoever slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other to him as well. ⁴⁰ If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat as well.
