let him have your cloak as well.

1 Peter 2:19-23

19For this is a gracious thing, when, tmindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. 20For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But uif when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21For vto this you have been called, wbecause Christ also suffered for you, xleaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 yHe committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 zWhen he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, aabut continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.
