29 To the person who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from the person who takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt either.
And to him that smiteth thee on the [one] cheek, offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke, forbid not [to take thy] coat also.
30 Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods, ask [them] not again.

And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

41 And why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
42 Or how can you tell your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite. First remove the log from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother's eye.
Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thy eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thy own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thy own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
43 For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.
For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
For every tree is known by its own fruit: for from thorns men do not gather figs, nor from a bramble bush do they gather grapes.

Whoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like.

But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that, without a foundation, built a house on the earth, against which the stream beat vehemently, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.
