'Keeping The Peace.'
Matthew 5:39-41.
a) Matthew 5:39. Jesus says that we are not to resist the evildoer. (That is do not make an unnecessary dispute)
b) Matthew 5:39. Whoever strikes us on the right cheek, turn the other cheek to the striker also.
c) Matthew 5:40. If someone wants to sue you for your tunic.
d) Matthew 5:40. Give him your coat also.
e) Matthew 5:41. If someone compels you to go a mile.
f) Matthew 5:41. Be willing to go with that person for two miles.
(This QT teaches me that Jesus was radical about Keeping The Peace)

John 1:18.
a) No one has ever seen God at any time.
b) The only begotten Son.
c) Who is in the bosom of the Father God.

We live in days, especially in some parts of the 'prosperous' parts of the World, where suing has become a part of life rather than an unusual occurrence. This is very profitable for lawyers, but for lay people getting involved in such court cases can be a devastating experience, heaping bitterness into their lives, whether they win or lose the case.
