Matthew 5:38-39, New Living Translation
Teaching about Revenge
38 "You have heard that the law of Moses says, `If an eye is injured, injure the eye of the person who did it. If a tooth gets knocked out, knock out the tooth of the person who did it.'[12][Greek `An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' Exod 21:24; Lev 24:20; Deut 19:21.]
39 But I say, don't resist an evil person! If you are slapped on the right cheek, turn the other, too.
