shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him also the other. ⁴⁰And if a man will prosecute thee, and take thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. ⁴¹And whosoever shall press thee for one mile, go with him two. ⁴²Give to him that asketh thee; and from him who wants to borrow of thee, turn not away.

⁴³Ye have heard that it hath been said, “Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.” ⁴⁴But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who treat you insolently, and persecute you; ⁴⁵that ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he causeth his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and tendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. ⁴⁶For if ye love those who love you, what reward have you? do not even the publicans the same thing? ⁴⁷And if ye embrace your brethren only, what do ye extraordinary? do not even the publicans so? ⁴⁸Be ye therefore perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
