We have been taught an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth. But he tells us not to get even with a person who has done something wrong to you. When someone smacks you right on the cheek, turn and let that person slap your other cheek. If someone sues you for your shirt, give up your coat as well. If a soldier forces you to carry his pack one mile, carry it two miles. When people ask for something give it to them. When they want to borrow money lend it to them.
