But I say to you, that ye resist not the evildoer; but whoever smiteth thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also;

in which I suffer hardship even unto bonds as an evildoer; but the word of God is not bound.

having your manner of life among the gentiles honorable; that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

or to governors, as being sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and the praise of those who do well.

not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but, on the contrary, blessing the evildoer; because for this end ye were called, that ye might inherit blessing.

For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a busybody in other mens matters;
