³⁹ But I say to you, do not show opposition against an evil person; but ^(A)whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other toward him also. ⁴⁰ And if anyone wants to sue you and take your ^[a]tunic, let him have your ^[b]cloak also. ⁴¹ Whoever ^[c]forces you to go one mile, go with him two. ^42 (B)Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.

^29 (A)Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your ^[a]cloak, do not withhold your ^[b]tunic from him either. ³⁰ Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.

⁷ Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. ^(A)Why not rather suffer the wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?
