The verse 40 is found in chapter 5 of Matthew. The response to evil breaks with the logic of retaliation. Jesus does not present meekness as passivity toward every injustice, but as a refusal to reproduce violence through equivalent revenge.

Und so jemand mit dir rechten will und deinen Rock nehmen, dem laß auch den Mantel.
Y al que quisiere ponerte a pleito y tomarte tu ropa, déjale también la capa;
Si quelqu'un veut plaider contre toi, et prendre ta tunique, laisse-lui encore ton manteau.
E se alcuno vuol contender teco, e torti la tonica, lasciagli eziandio il mantello.
E, ao que quiser pleitear contigo, e tirar-te a túnica, larga-lhe também a capa;
有人想要告你,要拿你的裏衣,連外衣也由他拿去。
