That is what my reason says as well. But that's not what these verses say. The previous verses say that if someone strikes me, let them strike me again. If someone takes my coat, give them my shirt too. If someone steals from me, don't ask for your goods back. These things do not sound reasonable or wise, but they are what Christ preached.
So what am I missing?
