"Do not resist an evil person. If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you.." - Matthew 5:39
Fair. ETA: what version is that? First time I ever saw "sue "
Maybe he was talking about a poor robber. Maybe he wasn't. Maybe what we see about characters reflects our shadows, light and dark.
The above was from the NIV but it's similar in all translations as you can see on biblehub:

it's in the KJV from 1611. it's nothing to do with "updated translations"
