Berean Standard Bible
Matthew 5:39
“But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;”
In context
37Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.
38You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’
39But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;
40If someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;
41And if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
