  7. Matthew 5:38-40 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you not to resist an evil person.

Splash like a pebble, splash like a boulder.

First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye.” • 1Corinthians 6:19-20 “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
