Rendering

For what glory is it if when you sin and are punished you bear it patiently? But if you do well and suffer and bear it patiently, [this deserves thanks], for it is acceptable to God.

But I tell you not to resist the evil man; but whoever shall strike you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also;

But I tell you that hear, Love your enemies; do good to those that hate you;

Bless those that persecute, bless and curse not.

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

But be kind one to another, merciful, giving one to another, as God also in Christ gave to you.

See that no one renders evil for evil, but always pursue the good both one to another and to all.
