Where is this bible verse from?

Zhivko · Nov 22, 2018

Hello,

I remember once I read this in the bible. These are not the exact words, I'll try to write it as close to the original as I can: "If someone asks you to give him your stuff, do not say no even to the screamest stuff you have and if someone wants to use you, allow him to use you as much as he wants."

These are strange words that nobody wants to do. But I remember reding them. I cannot find them. Is someone familiar with this verse and where is it from? What are your thoughts on this verse?

No, this is not the verse. I know this one very well.

I can't find "stuff" in my search words. Perhaps a new translation?

I have never read those specific words, but the theme likely comes from the sermon on the mount Matthew 5 and 6. Though many would take issue with the way that was worded, it certainly carries the same message Jesus taught.
Many also say that Jesus didn't really command us to do those things because as humans, it goes against our nature. Well, ya.....that was kind of the point.
The way to look at it is that the best response to evil is love.

I translate it from Bulgarian. There may not be word "stuff" in the verse. This is a very rare verse, I think it is from the New Tastement. Only people who have read all the New Testament might know where it is from.

Love Your Enemies
(Leviticus 24:17-23; Matthew 5:38-48)

27But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well. 30Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.31Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.33If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.34And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.

35But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

God Bless.

Matthew 5:40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

No, the words are close to what I wrote.

What are some of the words written in Bulgarian?

Matthew 5:
38 ¶ "You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
39 "But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
40 "If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also.
41 "And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 "Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.

That might be it. It's part of the sermon on the mount

Bible Search and Study Tools - Blue Letter Bible might be of help. You can pick your English translation and type a few words into the search box and look at the results.

If you go to www.biblegateway.com you can search six Bulgarian versions of the Bible.

But I'm pretty sure that the closest verses to what you said have already been mentioned.

Where is this bible verse from?
