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:

Moreover love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest: because He is good to the ungrateful and wicked.

Returning to no one evil for evil; providing things beautiful in the sight of all men.

Indeed it is already altogether a small matter to you, that you have law-suits one with another. Why do you not rather stiffer injustice? why are you not rather defrauded?

who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth,

not giving evil for evil, or railing for railing: but on the contrary blessing; because unto this you have been called, that you may inherit the blessing.

and testifying, that you walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.

Follow after divine love; and seek the spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.

But you, O man of God, fly from these things; and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, divine love, patience, meekness.

Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification, without which no one shall see the Lord:

let him depart from evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and pursue it:

Beloved, imitate not the evil, but the good. The one doing good is of God: the one doing evil has not seen God.

And

Returning to no one evil for evil; providing things beautiful in the sight of all men.

Then therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

But it does not behoove the servant of the Lord to strive, but to be gentle toward all, competent to teach, enduring evil,

to speak evil of no one, that they should be peaceable, gentle, showing all meekness to all men.

Honor all people; love the brotherhood with divine love; fear God; honor the king.
