Matthew 5:38-48

Murdock(i) 38 Ye have heard that it hath been said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. 39 But I say to you: Resist not evil; but if a person smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if one is disposed to sue thee and get away thy coat, relinquish to him also thy cloak. 41 Whoever compelleth thee to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Whoever demandeth of thee, give to him: and whoever wisheth to borrow of thee, deny him not. 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy. 44 But I say to you: Love your enemies; and bless him that curseth you; and do good to him that hateth you; and pray for them that lead you in bonds, and that persecute you: 45 that ye may be the children of your Father that is in heaven, who causeth his sun to rise upon the good and upon the bad, and sendeth his rain upon the righteous and upon the unrighteous. 46 For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans do this? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye that is not common? Do not even publicans do this? 48 Be ye therefore perfect; even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
