Matthew 5:38-48

Worrell(i) 38 "Ye heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,' 39 but I say to you, Resist not the evil man; but whosoever smites you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also; 40 and to him who is desirous that you should be sued at the law, and to take your coat, grant your cloak also; 41 and whosoever shall impress you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him asking you; and from him who wishes to borrow of you turn not away. 43 "Ye heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy;' 44 but I say to you, Love your enemies; and pray for those who persecute you; 45 that ye may be sons of your Father Who is in Heaven; because He causeth His sun to rise on evil men and on good, and sendeth rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. 46 For, if ye love those who love you, what reward have ye? do not even the tax-collectors the same? 47 And, if ye salute your brethren only, what more than others do ye? Do not even the gentiles the same? 48 Ye, therefore, shall be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect."
