Matthew 5:39
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

ὁρᾶτε μή τις κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ τινι ἀποδῷ ἀλλὰ πάντοτε τὸ ἀγαθὸν διώκετε καὶ εἰς ἀλλήλους καὶ εἰς πάντας
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
μὴ ἀποδιδόντες κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ ἢ λοιδορίαν ἀντὶ λοιδορίας τοὐναντίον δὲ εὐλογοῦντες εἰδότες ὅτι εἰς τοῦτο ἐκλήθητε ἵνα εὐλογίαν κληρονομήσητε
Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
μηδενὶ κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ ἀποδιδόντες προνοούμενοι καλὰ ἐνώπιον πάντων ἀνθρώπων·
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
אַל-תֹּאמַר אֲשַׁלְּמָה-רָע קַוֵּה לַֽיהוָה וְיֹשַֽׁע לָֽךְ׃
Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
τῷ τύπτοντί σε ἐπὶ τὴν σιαγόνα πάρεχε καὶ τὴν ἄλλην καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἴροντός σου τὸ ἱμάτιον καὶ τὸν χιτῶνα μὴ κωλύσῃς
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.
ποῖον γὰρ κλέος εἰ ἁμαρτάνοντες καὶ κολαφιζόμενοι ὑπομενεῖτε ἀλλ' εἰ ἀγαθοποιοῦντες καὶ πάσχοντες ὑπομενεῖτε τοῦτο χάρις παρὰ θεῷ
For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
לֹֽא-תִקֹּם וְלֹֽא-תִטֹּר אֶת-בְּנֵי עַמֶּךָ וְאָֽהַבְתָּ לְרֵֽעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
יִתֵּן לְמַכֵּהוּ לֶחִי יִשְׂבַּע בְּחֶרְפָּֽה׃
He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
אַל-תֹּאמַר כַּאֲשֶׁר עָֽשָׂה-לִי כֵּן אֶֽעֱשֶׂה-לּוֹ אָשִׁיב לָאִישׁ כְּפָעֳלֽוֹ׃
Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
גֵּוִי נָתַתִּי לְמַכִּים וּלְחָיַי לְמֹֽרְטִים פָּנַי לֹא הִסְתַּרְתִּי מִכְּלִמּוֹת וָרֹֽק׃
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
ἤδη μὲν οὖν ὅλως ἥττημα ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστιν ὅτι κρίματα ἔχετε μεθ' ἑαυτῶν. διατί οὐχὶ μᾶλλον ἀδικεῖσθε; διατί οὐχὶ μᾶλλον ἀποστερεῖσθε;
Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not take rather wrong? why do ye not be rather suffer yourselves to defrauded?
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲבִישַׁי אֶל-דָּוִד סִגַּר אֱלֹהִים הַיּוֹם אֶת-אֽוֹיִבְךָ בְּיָדֶךָ וְעַתָּה אַכֶּנּוּ נָא בַּֽחֲנִית וּבָאָרֶץ פַּעַם אַחַת וְלֹא אֶשְׁנֶה לֽוֹ׃
Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.
אִם-אֶשְׂמַח בְּפִיד מְשַׂנְאִי וְהִתְעֹרַרְתִּי כִּֽי-מְצָאוֹ רָֽע׃
If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
הִנֵּה הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה רָאוּ עֵינֶיךָ אֵת אֲשֶׁר-נְתָֽנְךָ יְהוָה׀ הַיּוֹם׀ בְּיָדִי בַּמְּעָרָה וְאָמַר לַהֲרָֽגְךָ וַתָּחָס עָלֶיךָ וָֽאֹמַר לֹֽא-אֶשְׁלַח יָדִי בַּֽאדֹנִי כִּֽי-מְשִׁיחַ יְהוָה הֽוּא׃
Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the LORD's anointed.
κατεδικάσατε ἐφονεύσατε τὸν δίκαιον οὐκ ἀντιτάσσεται ὑμῖν
Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
פָּעֲרוּ עָלַי׀ בְּפִיהֶם בְּחֶרְפָּה הִכּוּ לְחָיָי יַחַד עָלַי יִתְמַלָּאֽוּן׃
They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
וַיִּגַּשׁ צִדְקִיָּהוּ בֶֽן-כְּנַעֲנָה וַיַּכֶּה אֶת-מִיכָיְהוּ עַל-הַלֶּחִי וַיֹּאמֶר אֵי-זֶה עָבַר רֽוּחַ-יְהוָה מֵֽאִתִּי לְדַבֵּר אוֹתָֽךְ׃
But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?
καὶ περικαλύψαντες αὐτὸν ἔτυπτον αὐτοῦ τὸ πρόσωπον καὶ ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες Προφήτευσον τίς ἐστιν ὁ παίσας σε
And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
Οὔπω μέχρις αἵματος ἀντικατέστητε πρὸς τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἀνταγωνιζόμενοι
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
עַתָּה תִּתְגֹּדְדִי בַת-גְּדוּד מָצוֹר שָׂם עָלֵינוּ בַּשֵּׁבֶט יַכּוּ עַֽל-הַלְּחִי אֵת שֹׁפֵט יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
