Carefully, then, the Lord here names “adversary” (Matthew 5:25) the one who tries to take something that belongs to us. We are well disposed toward him if we keep the Lord’s command: “To the one who wants to go to law with you and take your tunic, give him the cloak as well,” (Matthew 5:40) and likewise in every such matter.
Greek
Ἐπιτετηρημένως οὖν ὁ κύριος ἐνταῦθα ἀντίδικον ὀνομάζει τὸν ἀφαιρεῖσθαί τι ἐπιχειροῦντα τῶν διαφερόντων ἡμῖν. εὐνοοῦμεν δὲ αὐτῷ, ἐὰν φυλάξωμεν τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ κυρίου εἰπόντος "τῷ θέλοντί σοι κριθῆναι καὶ τὸν χιτῶνά σου λαβεῖν, ἄφες αὐτῷ καὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον" καὶ ἐπὶ παντὸς πράγματος τοιούτου ὁμοίως.
