Rendering

For what glory is there, if, committing sin and being buffeted, you endure it? But if, doing good and suffering you endure it, this is grace with God.

But I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smites thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also:

But I say unto you that hear, Love your enemies with divine love, and do good to those that hate you,

Bless them that persecute you; bless, and scold not.

and we toil working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure it;

But be ye kind toward one another, merciful, forgiving one another, as indeed God in Christ forgave you.

See that no one may return evil for evil to any one; but always pursue good toward one another, and toward all.

General references

But I say unto you, Love your enemies with a divine love, bless those who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you:

Bless them that persecute you; bless, and scold not.
