Matthew 5:38-42
New International Version (NIV)
Eye for Eye
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[a] 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. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.Footnotes:

pay back evil with good..... as much as I want to do and be all these things, sometimes I feel like it is easier said than done..... how do I reward evil with good.... how do I let people walk all over me.... how do I not stand up for myself..... I know its not for m to do..... but how do I not only learn but live this?
