Rendering

For what glory is it, if, when sinning and being beaten, ye endure it? but, if, when doing well and suffering for it, ye endure it, this is acceptable with God.

but I say to you, Resist not the evil man; but whosoever smites you on your 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 we toil, laboring with our own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;

and become kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God also in Christ forgave you.

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