But here is what I tell you. Do not fight against an evil person. Suppose someone slaps you on your right cheek. Turn your other cheek to them also.

只是我告诉你们，不要与恶人作对。有人打你的右脸，连左脸也转过来由他打；

但是我告诉你们：不要与恶人作对。有人打你的右脸，连另一边也转过去由他打。

可是我告訴你們，不要與惡人對抗，有人打你的右臉，把另一邊也轉過來讓他打；

但是我告訴你們，不可報復惡行為。無論誰在你的右邊嘴巴上給你一個耳刮子，你連左邊也要轉過來給他打。

但是我告訴你們：不要與惡人作對。有人打你的右臉，把左臉也轉給他；

惟我語汝、勿與惡者敵、或批爾右頰、並轉左頰向之、

惟我語汝、勿敵惡、有人批爾右頰、轉左頰向之、

惟我告爾、勿禦惡、有人批爾右頰、則轉左頰向之、

然吾語爾、毋抗惡人；或批爾右頰、向以左頰；

But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.

But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also.

But I tell you, don’t resist an evildoer. On the contrary, if anyone slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

But I say to you, do not show opposition against an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other toward him also.

But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

but I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

But I tell you, don’t resist an evildoer. On the contrary, if anyone slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

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.

But I say to you, do not resist the evildoer. But whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him as well.

But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Make sure that no one pays back one wrong act with another. Instead, always try to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.

Suppose someone slaps you on one cheek. Let them slap you on the other cheek as well. Suppose someone takes your coat. Don’t stop them from taking your shirt as well.Give to everyone who asks you. And if anyone takes what belongs to you, don’t ask to get it back.

Don’t pay back evil with evil. Don’t pay back unkind words with unkind words. Instead, pay back evil with kind words. This is what you have been chosen to do. You will receive a blessing by doing this.

Don’t say,“ I’ll get even with you for the wrong you did to me!” Wait for the Lord, and he will make things right for you.

But suppose you receive a beating for doing wrong, and you put up with it. Will anyone honor you for this? Of course not. But suppose you suffer for doing good, and you put up with it. God will praise you for this.You were chosen to do good even if you suffer. That’s because Christ suffered for you. He left you an example that he expects you to follow.Scripture says,“ He didn’t commit any sin. No lies ever came out of his mouth.”( Isaiah 53:9)People shouted at him and made fun of him. But he didn’t do the same thing back to them. When he suffered, he didn’t say he would make them suffer. Instead, he trusted in the God who judges fairly.

“‘ Do not try to get even. Do not hold anything against any of your people. Instead, love your neighbor as you love yourself. I am the Lord.

Don’t say,“ I’ll do to them what they have done to me. I’ll get even with them for what they did.”

Let him turn his cheek toward those who would slap him. Let him be filled with shame.

Don’t pay back evil with evil. Be careful to do what everyone thinks is right.If possible, live in peace with everyone. Do that as much as you can.My dear friends, don’t try to get even. Leave room for God to show his anger. It is written,“ I am the God who judges people. I will pay them back,”( Deuteronomy 32:35) says the Lord.

When you take another believer to court, you have lost the battle already. Why not be treated wrongly? Why not be cheated?

I let my enemies beat me on my bare back. I let them pull the hair out of my beard. I didn’t turn my face away when they made fun of me and spit on me.

“ I wasn’t happy when hard times came to my enemies. I didn’t enjoy seeing the trouble they had.I didn’t allow my mouth to sin by asking for bad things to happen to them.The workers in my house always said,‘ Job always gives plenty of food to everyone.’

Abishai said to David,“ Today God has handed your enemy over to you. So let me pin him to the ground. I can do it with one jab of the spear. I won’t even have to strike him twice.”But David said to Abishai,“ Don’t destroy him! No one can do any harm to the Lord’ s anointed king and not be guilty.You can be sure that the Lord lives,” he said.“ And you can be just as sure that the Lord himself will strike Saul down. Perhaps he’ll die a natural death. Or perhaps he’ll go into battle and be killed.

This day you have seen with your own eyes how the Lord handed you over to me in the cave. Some of my men begged me to kill you. But I didn’t. I said,‘ I will never lay my hand on my master. He is the Lord’ s anointed king.’Look, my father! Look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut off the corner of your robe. But I didn’t kill you. See, there is nothing in my hand that shows I am guilty of doing anything wrong. I haven’t turned against you. I haven’t done anything to harm you. But you are hunting me down. You want to kill me.May the Lord judge between you and me. And may the Lord pay you back because of the wrong things you have done to me. But I won’t do anything to hurt you.People say,‘ Evil acts come from those who do evil.’ So I won’t do anything to hurt you.“ King Saul, who are you trying to catch? Who do you think you are chasing? I’m nothing but a dead dog or a flea!May the Lord be our judge. May he decide between us. May he consider my case and stand up for me. May he show that I’m not guilty of doing anything wrong. May he save me from you.”

People make fun of me. They slap my face and laugh at me. All of them join together against me.

You have judged and murdered people who aren’t guilty. And they weren’t even opposing you.

When that happens, you won’t have this heavy load on your mind. You won’t have to worry about how you killed people without any reason. You won’t have to worry about how you got even. The Lord your God will give you success. When that happens, please remember me.”David said to Abigail,“ Give praise to the Lord. He is the God of Israel. He has sent you today to find me.May the Lord bless you for what you have done. You have shown a lot of good sense. You have kept me from killing Nabal and his men this day. You have kept me from using my own hands to get even.It’s a good thing you came quickly to meet me. If you hadn’t come, not one of Nabal’s men would have been left alive by sunrise. And that’s just as sure as the Lord, the God of Israel, is alive. He has kept me from harming you.”

You struggle against sin. But you have not yet fought to the point of spilling your blood.

Then Zedekiah, the son of Kenaanah, went up and slapped Micaiah in the face. Zedekiah asked Micaiah,“ Do you think the spirit sent by the Lord left me? Do you think that spirit went to speak to you?”

Jerusalem, you are being attacked. So bring your troops together. Our enemies have surrounded us. They want to slap the face of Israel’s ruler.

They blindfolded him. They said,“ Prophesy! Who hit you?”
