Turn The Other Cheek - Continued

Matthew 5:38-42 is hard to understand, no one wants to be a coward and let someone slap them around but perhaps this verse shouldn't be taken literally and it means that you should tolerate an insult a "slap in the face." Next, if someone is suing you, perhaps you have done something wrong and it would be best to settle out of court. Verse 41 talks about being compelled or forced to help someone; you should volunteer to help them more than they ask. The last one is the easiest, if someone wants to borrow from you, give to them.
