Turn the other cheek
Give to those who ask, and if someone is taking advantage of you or blatantly, or cunningly, deceiving you, just remember, better a heavy millstone be tied around your neck and you be cast into the sea then to deceive a child of God, and sometimes someone is in charge of someone else at the expense of the one in charge. If they are oppressing you because “you deserve it for being wicked,” their repercussions will be seven times worse what they gave to you.
39 But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. (Matthew 5:39)
1He said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come! 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble. (Luke 17:1-2)
9 All this I have seen and applied my mind to every deed that has been done under the sun wherein a man has exercised authority over another man to his hurt. (Ecclesiastes 8:9)
