Matthew 5:39 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 5:39

37 ^aBut let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

38 “You have heard that it was said, ^a‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’

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.

40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also.

41 And whoever ^acompels you to go one mile, go with him two.

42 Give to him who asks you, and ^afrom him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.

43 “You have heard that it was said, ^a‘You shall love your neighbor ^band hate your enemy.’
