and if any one would go to law with thee, to take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also, rather than strive with him:

to him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other; and let him that taketh away thy cloke, have thy coat too rather than strive with him:

When thou comest, bring with thee the cloke, that I left at Troas with Carpus; and the books, but especially the parchments.

as free, and yet not using your liberty as a cloke for wickedness, but as the servants of God.
