Rendering

For what glory is it, if when ye commit faults and are buffeted, ye take it patiently? But if when ye do well and suffer, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

But I say unto you, that ye resist not the evil man: but whosoever shall smite thee on the right-cheek, turn to him the other also;

But I say to you that hear, Love your enemies; do good to them that hate you,

bless and curse not.

being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted; forgiving one another; as God also for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

See that none render to any man evil for evil, but ever follow that which is good, both to one another and to all men.

General references

bless and curse not.
