That ye resist not..

Matthew 5:39 (KJV)
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.


Three Christian Principles:
1. Do not retaliate (Mt. 5:39; Rom. 12:14).
2. Do more than required (Mt. 5:40-41).
3. Be kind and generous (Mt. 5:42).
Dake's Annotated Reference Bible.


Romans 12:18-21 (KJV)
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.  19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.  20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.  21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
