Principle of Non-Retaliation

Labels: , , .

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: but I say unto you, that ye resist not evil" Matthew 5:38-29

Regarding
1. Social rights - insult: whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also
2. Legal rights - injustice: if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also
3. Political rights - inconvenience: whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain
4. Financial rights - indigence: give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away
