Notes

You have heard that it was said: Eye for eye and tooth for tooth. But I tell you, you are not against evil. No, if someone hits you on the right cheek, turn the other one against him. If someone wants to process with you to get your shirt, give him your mantle as well. If anyone wants to process with you to get your shirt, give him your mantle as well. If anyone wants to force you to follow a mile in his service, then walk two miles with him. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn your back on the one who wants to borrow from you.

Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn your back on the one who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was said: You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you; then you will be Heavenly Father's sons. then you become the sons of your Heavenly Father. For He will let His sun rise over evil and good and let it rain over righteous and unrighteous. If you love those who love you, will you pay for it? Don't the customs drivers do the same? And if you kindly greet your brothers and only on them, do you make something remarkable? Don't the heathen do the same? Be perfect, as your Father in heaven is perfect.
