38 You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. 39But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also;
43 You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy. 44But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
