38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye
for eye, and tooth for tooth.’] 39 But I (Jesus) tell you, do not resist an
evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other
cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt,
hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile,
go with them two miles.

Peter 3:9
New
International Version
9 Do
not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary,
repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so
that you may inherit a blessing.
Romans
12:17-21
New
International Version
17 Do
not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes
of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live
at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends,
but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I
will repay,”[a] says the
Lord. 20 On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
(Coals for their fire when their fire goes out)]
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but
overcome evil with good.
