22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord, and he shall save thee.
22 Do not say, "I'll pay you back for this wrong!" Wait for the Lord, and he will avenge you.
22 Do not say, "I will repay evil"; wait for the Lord, and he will deliver you.
22 Don't ever say, "I'll get you for that!" Wait for God; he'll settle the score.
22 Do not say, "I will recompense evil"; Wait for the Lord, and He will save you.
22 Don't say, "I will get even for this wrong." Wait for the Lord to handle the matter.
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.
39 But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
39 Is that going to get us anywhere? Here's what I propose: 'Don't hit back at all.' If someone strikes you, stand there and take it.
39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
39 But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also.
(Read Matthew 5:38-42)
The plain instruction is, Suffer any injury that can be borne, for the sake of peace, committing your concerns to the Lord's keeping. And the sum of all is, that Christians must avoid disputing and striving. If any say, Flesh and blood cannot pass by such an affront, let them remember, that flesh and blood shall not inherit the kingdom of God; and those who act upon right principles will have most peace and comfort.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.
40 And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic,
40 If someone drags you into court and sues for the shirt off your back, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it.
40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also.
40 If you are sued in court and your shirt is taken from you, give your coat, too.
