Rendering

For what praise is due, if, when you are punished for your faults, you endure it patiently? But if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you endure it patiently, this is praiseworthy in the- sight of God.

But I say to you, Resist not the injurious. But whoever will smite you on your 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 them that persecute you; bless, and curse not;

and labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;

and be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.

See that no one render evil for evil to any, but always pursue that which is good toward one another and toward all.
