"Ye have heard it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, Do not resist an evil person: but whosoever smites thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sues and takes away your coat, give him your cloak also. You have heard it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? Be ye therefore perfect as your father in heaven is perfect." -Mathew 5
