Does the Bible say you should do good to those who hurt you?
Donalde123
Matthew 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. Luke 6:29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
This is commonly referred to as 'turning the other cheek' and is understood as weakness by those who are self-assertive and do not have the humble Christian spirit. Indeed the whole modern attitude, at least in the 'western' cultures is to push oneself forward. There was also plenty of this in Jesus' own day, as evidenced by some of what He had to say against the Pharisees. So, yes, The Bible does teach this, Jesus specifically, although the idea is also contained in Proverbs 25:21-22 with this concept also being quoted by Paul in Romans 12:20. 20Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

Pray for those who hurt you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also. 30 Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don't try to get them back. 31 Do to others as you would like them to do to you. 32 "If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them! 33 And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit?
