Study Notes
Swearing and Communication
- Do not swear by one's head, as one cannot change the color of a single hair.
- Communication should be simple and honest, with "yes" meaning "yes" and "no" meaning "no".
Treatment of Others
- Do not resist evil, but instead turn the other cheek when struck.
- Give someone your coat if they sue you for it, and offer your cloak as well.
- If someone forces you to go a mile, go two miles with them.
- Give to those who ask, and lend to those who want to borrow.
Loving Enemies
- Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, and do good to those who hate you.
- Pray for those who persecute and mistreat you.
- This is how to be children of God, who makes the sun rise on both the evil and the good.
Perfection
- Be perfect, just like God in heaven is perfect.
- Do not just love those who love you, because even publicans do that.
- Do not just greet your brothers, because even publicans do that.
