If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them.

James 1:12-15 – "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. When tempted, no one should say, 'God is tempting me.' For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."

We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body."
