Romans 12:17 echoes Matthew 5:39 — do not repay evil for evil / turn the other cheek

Skeptics Wrongly Claim Apostle Paul Didn’t Know Jesus 00:24:05 – 00:24:35

Another parallel between Paul's ethical instructions and the Sermon on the Mount.

Romans 12:17 reads: 'Repay no one evil for evil.' Matthew 5:39 reads: 'But I say to you, do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.' Mike identifies this as another instance of Paul passing along the ethical tradition of Jesus in his church instructions.
