005:039 But I tell you not to resist a wicked man, but if any one strikes
you on the right cheek, turn the other to him as well.
005:040 If any one wishes to go to law with you and to deprive you
of your under garment, let him take your outer one also.
005:041 And whoever shall compel you to convey his goods one mile,
go with him two.
005:042 To him who asks, give: from him who would borrow, turn not away.
005:043 "You have heard that it was said, `Thou shalt love thy neighbour
and hate thine enemy.'
005:044 But I command you all, love your enemies, and pray
for your persecutors;
005:045 that so you may become true sons of your Father in Heaven;
for He causes His sun to rise on the wicked as well as the good,
and sends rain upon those who do right and those who do wrong.
005:046 For if you love only those who love you, what reward have you earned?
Do not even the tax-gatherers do that?
005:047 And if you salute only your near relatives, what praise is due
to you? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
005:048 You however are to be complete in goodness, as your
Heavenly Father is complete.
006:001 "But beware of doing your good actions in the sight of men,
in order to attract their gaze; if you do, there is no reward
for you with your Father who is in Heaven.
006:002 `When you give in charity, never blow a trumpet before you
as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets in order
that their praises may be sung by men. I solemnly tell you
that they already have their reward.
006:003 But when you are giving in charity, let not your left hand
perceive what your right hand is doing,
006:004 that your charities may be in secret; and then your Father--He who
sees in secret--will recompense you.
006:005 "And when praying, you must not be like the hypocrites.
They are fond of standing and praying in the synagogues or at
the corners of the wider streets, in order that men may see them.
I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.
006:006 But you, whenever you pray, go into your own room and shut
the door: then pray to your Father who is in secret,
and your Father--He who sees in secret--will recompense you.
006:007 "And when praying, do not use needless repetitions as the
Gentiles do, for they expect to be listened to because of their
multitude of words.
006:008 Do not, however, imitate them; for your Father knows what things
you need before ever you ask Him.
006:009 "In this manner therefore pray: `Our Father who art in Heaven,
may Thy name be kept holy;
006:010 let Thy kingdom come; let Thy will be done, as in Heaven
so on earth;
006:011 give us to-day our bread for the day;
006:012 and forgive us our shortcomings, as we also have forgiven
those who have failed in their duty towards us;
