Matthew 5:39 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

But I say unto you, that ye resist not the evil man — Thus; the Greek word translated resist signifies standing in battle array, striving for victory. If a man smite thee on the right cheek — Return not evil for evil: yea, turn to him the other — Rather than revenge thyself.

Matthew 5:39

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.
