American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Ye have heard that it was said, An {Exodus 21:24; Leviticus 24:20; Deuteronomy 19:21.}eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
but I say unto you, Resist not {Or, evil}him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
And whosoever shall {Greek: impress.}compel thee to go one mile, go with him two.
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator.
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin:
having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
