GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 5:38-48
38 - “You have heard it said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say, do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other cheek. 40 And if anyone would sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to the one who asks from you, and don’t refuse the one who would borrow. 43 “You’ve heard it said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say, love your enemies and pray for those who treat you badly 45 so that you may be sons and daughters of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes the sun to rise on the good, and on the evil. And he sends rain on the just, and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the unbelievers do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father “is perfect”. (God, as perfect, makes no mistakes, cannot be taken by surprise, cannot lose anything.)

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ Romans 2:6-16 ~
6 - He will render to each one according to his deeds. 7 To those who patiently endure in doing good, seeking honor and incorruption/good, he will give (the) aionios/aionion life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and don’t obey truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. (Consequences, earthly, natural.) 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every soul [psyche] who works the not good [kakos - bad, evil, root of kakia- inner malice, inwardly poisoned] to the Jew/Hebrew first (including 70 a.d. aNd also to the Greek/nonHebrew). 10 but honor and peace for everyone who does the good, for the Hebrew/Jew first and also for the Greek. 11 For God shows no partiality. 12 For all who have sinned (hamartia - fallen short, missed the mark of perfection) without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the (listeners, thus) doers of the law who will be justified. (As opposed to “lawlessness”.) 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they don’t have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written upon their hearts, while their *conscience* also bears witness, and their *conflicting thoughts accuse* or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of mankind by Christ Jesus.
