Matthew 5: 43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your
enemy.'  44But I tell you: Love your enemies    and pray for those who persecute
you,

...

38"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'    
39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the

take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.
