Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

The verse 42 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.

Gib dem, der dich bittet, und wende dich nicht von dem, der dir abborgen will.
Al que te pidiere, dale; y al que quisiere tomar de ti prestado, no se lo rehúses.
Da a quien te pida, y no vuelvas la espalda a quien quiera pedirte prestado.
Donne à celui qui te demande, et ne te détourne pas de celui qui veut emprunter de toi.
Da’ a chi ti chiede, e non rifiutar la domanda di chi vuol prendere alcuna cosa in prestanza da te
Dá a quem te pedir, e não te desvies daquele que quiser que lhe emprestes.
有求你的,就給他;有向你借貸的,不可推辭。」
