You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person.
If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.
If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
Matthew 5:38-41
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind."
Ghandi
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. Romans 12:17-19
You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
Matthew 5:43-44
Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar
and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave
your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled
to your brother; then come and offer your gift.
Matthew 5:23
