REVENGE
Always you have heard it said, an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth, but I tell you that you should not seek revenge on those who have done evil against you. If someone strikes your right cheek, turn and let him strike your left cheek as well. If you are ordered by law to surrender your shirt, give up your coat also. And if a soldier forces you to carry his pack one mile; carry it two. Do not turn your back on those in need. Rather to them give all that you can spare, and share that which you cannot. You should always do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is the very essence of the law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets.
