You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth". But I say to you, do not resist an evildoer. If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. (Matthew 5:38–39, NRSV)

The passage continues with the importance of showing forgiveness to enemies and those who harm you.

Eye for an eye was meant to limit retribution, not require it. Often revenge meant "eye for an eye, plus a tooth just to teach the guy a lesson." The law was put into place to counter that tendency of human nature.

Got it. Thanks.
