Matthew 5:38–48

³⁸Ye have heard that it hath been said, ^aAn eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: ^39bBut I say unto you, ^cThat ye resist not evil: but ^dwhosoever shall ^ddsmite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. ⁴⁰And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. ⁴¹And whosoever shall ^ecompel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. ^42fGive to him that asketh thee, and ^gfrom him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

⁴³Ye have heard that it hath been said, ^hThou shalt love thy neighbour, and ⁱhate thine enemy. ⁴⁴But I say unto you, ^jLove your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and ^kpray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; ⁴⁵That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for ^lhe maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. ^46mFor if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even ^mmthe publicans the same? ⁴⁷And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even ^mmthe publicans so? ⁴⁸ⁿBe ye therefore perfect, even ^oas your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
