Rendering

For what glory is it, if, when ye are beaten for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently [it is glory]; for this is acceptable with God.

But I say to you, that ye resist not the evildoer; but whoever smiteth thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also;

But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies; do good to those who hate you;

Bless those who persecute you; bless, and curse not.

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

and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

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

General references
