Matthew 5:39

Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

Vengeance is mine, and recompense, at the time when their foot slides; for the day of their calamity is at hand. Their doom rushes at them.”

He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”

It may be that Yahweh will look on the wrong done to me, and that Yahweh will repay me good for the cursing of me today.”

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.

Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.

Wait for Yahweh, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.

But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me;” says the Lord, “I will repay.” Again, “The Lord will judge his people.”

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.

They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.

Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.

They open their mouths wide against me, lions tearing prey and roaring.

But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I didn’t know it. They tore at me, and didn’t cease.

Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, says to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: “Kings shall see and rise up, princes, and they shall worship, because of Yahweh who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.

Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”

For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, and don’t hesitate to spit in my face.

Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’

for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.

We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.

However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.

“One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,

David said, “As Yahweh lives, Yahweh will strike him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.

Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

Therefore Yahweh says: “Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.

Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.

The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another, and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,

If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

Don’t say, “I will do to him as he has done to me; I will repay the man according to his work.”

I gave my back to those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I didn’t hide my face from shame and spitting.

Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him. Let him be filled full of reproach.

Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.

“ ‘You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am Yahweh.

Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,

not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did Yahweh’s Spirit go from me to speak to you?”

Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.

For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.

Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”

Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”

See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good for one another and for all.

You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn’t resist you.

They have gaped on me with their mouth. They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.

Now you shall gather yourself in troops, daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.

You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.
