But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

(Romans 8:7) ESV Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude.

Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. (James 4:1,2) ESV
