Matthew 5:38-48

JuliaSmith(i) 38 Ye have heard, that it has been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39 But I say to you not to resist evil: but whosoever shall smite thee with a rod upon thy right cheek, turn to him also the other. 40 And to him wishing to be judged with thee, and to take thy coat, let go to him also thy garment. 41 And whoever shall compel thee to carry dispatches one mile, go forward with him two. 42 To him asking thee, give thou, and him wishing to borrow from thee, thou shouldst not turn away. 43 Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies, praise them cursing you, do well to them hating you, and pray for them threatening you, and driving you out. 45 So that ye might be sons of your Father, which in the heavens: for he makes his sun rise upon evil and good, and rains on the just and unjust. 46 For if ye love them loving you, what reward. have you? do not also the tax collectors the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye above ordinary? and do not the tax collectors the same? 48 Therefore, be ye perfected, as your Father which is in the heavens is perfected.
