Luke 6:31
29 If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.
30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.
33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
