that is so out of context... it's the 'golden rule' verse. it literally says 'bless those who curse you' 'love you enemies, do good to those who hate you' 'if someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also' in the same passage. it means treat people how you want to be treated, not treat people the way they've treated you

since you're quoting from king james-
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise....
32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
