This dovetails nicely to Jesus' amplification of his Sermon on the Mount where he details what loving your enemies looks like (it is in Matthew chapter 5 verses 38-48 - Mt5:38-48 for the people who might be wondering about the bible abbreviation structure) He tells us WHY we should do it and why He allows goodness to fall on both the good and evil. It is jam packed with answers! Luke 6:27-35 talks of turning the cheek, the value of all the cheek turning to the Christian and is where we get the "Do unto others as we would have others do unto us" saying. (any curious readers?: Luke is the third book in the New Testament-- Matthew, Mark then Luke which is one of the 4 Gospel books(Gospel loosely meaning good news about Christ and what he did for us).

Trigger warning (smirk): Tangentially, there is another verse out there about (as a Christ follower) being a good slave. That will enrage people these days. Makes me laugh thinking of it.
