In context
36 Wala usiape kwa kichwa chako, maana huwezi kufanya unywele mmoja kuwa mweupe au mweusi.
37 Bali maneno yenu yawe, 'Ndiyo, ndiyo, Hapana, hapana.' Kwa kuwa yazidiyo hayo yatoka kwa yule mwovu.
38 Mmesikia imenenwa kuwa, 'Jicho kwa jicho, na jino kwa jino.'
39 Lakini mimi namwambia, Msishindane na mtu mwovu; lakini mtu akikupiga shavu la kulia mgeuzie na jingine pia.
40 Na kama yeyote anatamani kwenda na wewe mahakamani na akakunyang'anya kanzu yako, mwachie na joho lako pia.
41 Na yeyote akulazimishaye kwenda naye maili moja, nenda naye maili mbili.
42 Kwa yeyote akuombaye mpatie, na usimwepuke yeyote anayehitaji kukukopa.
