Matthew 5:39 in Context — Matthew 5
37 Mas sea vuestro hablar: Sí, sí; No, no; porque lo que es más de esto, de mal procede.
38 Oísteis que fué dicho á los antiguos: Ojo por ojo, y diente por diente.
39 Mas yo os digo: No resistáis al mal; antes á cualquiera que te hiriere en tu mejilla diestra, vuélvele también la otra;
40 Y al que quisiere ponerte á pleito y tomarte tu ropa, déjale también la capa;
41 Y á cualquiera que te cargare por una milla, ve con él dos.
