The Future of Bible Study Is Here.
Matthew 5:38–48
38 “You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. p q 39 But I tell you, don’t resist r an evildoer. On the contrary, if anyone slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. s 40 As for the one who wants to sue you and take away your shirt, t let him have your coat u as well. 41 And if anyone forces v you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and don’t turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. w
43 “You have heard that it was said, Love your neighbor x y and hate your enemy. 44 But I tell you, love your enemies z and pray for those who a persecute you, b 45 so that you may be c sons of your Father in heaven. For He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. d 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your * brothers, what are you doing out of the ordinary? e f Don’t even the Gentiles g do the same? 48 Be perfect, h therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
