27 “But I say to you who hear, ^jLove your enemies, ^kdo good to those who hate you, 28 ^lbless those who curse you, ^mpray for those who abuse you. 29 ⁿTo one who ^ostrikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic ^{▼▼Greek chiton, a long garment worn under the cloak next to the skin} either.

Romans 12:19-21

19 Beloved, ^tnever avenge yourselves, but leave it ^{▼▼Greek give place} to the wrath of God, for it is written, ^v“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, ^w“if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

1 Peter 2:20-23

20 For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But ^xif when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21 For ^yto this you have been called, ^zbecause Christ also suffered for you, ^aaleaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 ^abHe committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 ^acWhen he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, ^adbut continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.
