36 Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 aBut let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
Go the Second Mile
39 aBut I tell you not to resist an evil person. bBut whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
Love Your Enemies
44 But I say to you, alove your enemies, bless those who curse you, bdo good to those who hate you, and pray cfor those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for aHe makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 aFor if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the2 tax collectors do so?
