Luke 6:30

The Sermon On The Plain: Love For Enemies

²⁹ Whoever strikes you on the cheek, offer him the other one also [simply ignore insignificant insults or losses and do not bother to retaliate—maintain your dignity]. Whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either. ³⁰ Give to everyone who asks of you. Whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. ³¹ Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.
