Matthew 5:40

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

But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

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.

For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.

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.

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

To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also.

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

When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”

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

Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.

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?

For you bear with a man if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, or if he strikes you on the face.

Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

Isn’t the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left.”

Mephibosheth said to the king, “Yes, let him take all, because my lord the king has come in peace to his own house.”

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?”

then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, and find the knowledge of God.

Their heart is divided. Now they will be found guilty. He will demolish their altars. He will destroy their sacred stones.

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.

But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers!

If others partake of this right over you, don’t we yet more? Nevertheless we didn’t use this right, but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Good News of Christ.

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