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 [mistreat] you, and persecute you; Mat 5:44 (Click gold Scripture references for Principle Interrelations)
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use [mistreat] you. And unto him that smiteth [strikes] thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat [tunic WU] also. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again [don't ask him to give them back]. And as ye would [like] that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye [what credit is that to you]? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of [from] whom ye hope to receive [repayment WU], what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, [expecting WU] to receive [back] as much again. But love ye your enemies, and do good [to them WU], and lend, hoping for [expecting] nothing [back] again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil [wicked WU]. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Lk 6:27-36
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not [him who is] evil: but whosoever shall smite [strike] thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain [two]. Mat 5:38-41 Learn to take abuse in an active way.Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip [travel bag WU]: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment [cloak], and buy one. Lk 22:36
