NASB | Matthew 5:40 "If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 5:40 "If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also [for the Lord repays the offender]. |
Bible Question: What are some biblical references pertaining to people taking other people to court and suing them (as in after a car accident)? I have heard of many opinions about it, including the fact that accepting the money from suing someone is wrong, as it was gotten in unGodly ways. |
Bible Answer: We cause more harm than good when we use the law against others. Matthew 5:40 And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. I Corinthians 6:7,8 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers. love and peace, -jini |
