Thematic Bible: Submitting to injuries


Thematic Bible



I, however, say to you that you must not resist wrong; but, if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him also; And, when any one wants to go to law with you, to take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; And, if any one compels you to go one mile, go two miles with him.

To begin with, it is undoubtedly a loss to you to have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather let yourselves be wronged? Why not rather let yourselves be cheated? Verse ConceptsdefeatRevenge, And RetaliationTypes Of ChristRobbing PeopleWronging Other PeopleInjusticeMoralityMoral Decay
