“But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.” (Matthew 5:39) “只是我告訴你們，不要與惡人作對。有人打你的右臉，連左臉也轉過來由他打。”（馬太福音 5：38-39）

來源及應用

耶穌在登山寶訓中對眾人說：「你們聽見有話說，以眼還眼，以牙還牙。只是我告訴你們，不要與惡人作對。有人打你的右臉，連左臉也轉過來由他打。」（馬太福音 5：38-39）當有人冒犯你時，你卻把另一邊臉也轉過去讓他打。耶穌勸眾人不要對冒犯我們的人作出報復，因為報復指會惹來更多更多積怨，更大傷害，冤冤相報何時了。能夠turn the other cheek的人，就能寬恕人。
