38
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.
39
But I say to you, that ye against-stand not an evil man; but if any smite thee in the right cheek, show to him also the other; [+But I say to you, to not against-stand evil; but if any shall smite thee on the right cheek, give to him also the tother;]
40
and to him that will strive with thee in doom, and take away thy coat, leave to him also thy mantle [leave thou to him and thine over-cloth];
41
and whoever constraineth thee a thousand paces, go thou with him other twain. [and whoever constrain thee a thousand paces, go thou with him other two.]
42
Give thou to him that asketh of thee [Forsooth give to him that asketh of thee], and turn thou not away from him that will borrow of thee.
43
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44
But I say to you, love ye your enemies, do ye well to them that hate you, and pray ye for them that pursue, and slander you [and pray ye for men pursuing, and falsely challenging you];
45
that ye be the sons of your Father that is in heavens, that maketh his sun to rise upon good men and evil [that maketh his sun to rise on good and on evil men], and raineth on just men and unjust.
46
For if ye love them that love you, what meed shall ye have? whether [the] publicans do not this thing?
47
And if ye greet your brethren only, what shall ye do more? do not heathen men this? [And if ye greet, or salute, your brethren only, what moreover shall ye do? whether and pagans do not this thing?]
48
Therefore be ye perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
