'If someone slaps you <br />On your cheek right, <br />Let him slap you <br />On your cheek left.' <br /> <br />'An eye for an eye <br />You need not go by; <br />A tooth for a tooth <br />Indeed, it's not worth.' <br /> <br />'If one goes to court <br />To have your shirt, <br />Wisely avoid it: <br />Give him your coat.' <br /> <br />ABOUT LOVE FOR ENEMIES <br /> <br />'An enemy is not born. <br />But he is made as one. <br />Even if he tries to offend, <br />Treat him as your friend.' <br /> <br />'For our Father in heaven <br />Allows the sun to shine; <br />As well as the rain, <br />Good or bad, on everyone.' <br /> <br />ABOUT CHARITY <br /> <br />'Any charity by the right hand, <br />Let it be unknown to the left hand. <br />Do not make it a big show <br />That everyone should know.' <br /> <br />ABOUT PRAYER <br /> <br />'In public, do not pray <br />On the road, or the way, <br />But pray in your own room, <br />With all reverence to Him.' <br /> <br />'Do not tell all your woes <br />For, your needs all, God knows. <br />Let your prayer be simple <br />And in fewer words, be humble.' <br /> <br />THE DAILY PRAYER <br /> <br />'Our Father in heaven; <br />Hallowed be your Name. <br />May your kingdom come; <br />Give us the food we need. <br />Forgive us for our sins <br />As we forgive wrong-doers. <br />Bring us not to the test.' <br /> <br />(To be continued)<br /><br />Simple Simon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/j11-the-teachings-of-jesus-2/
