What kind of people are you associating with that you have to worry about someone punching you in the face?
You ought to change your life style.

C' mon man now you know that was a example. Because if someone did that to me I would still be in jail.
 
Interestingly, because it sounds like a paradoxal view, I am a BIG believer in every boy learning to fight well... so he can choose NOT to.
 
I have always hoped .. I could literally turn the other cheek when challenged about the Lord... Like if you don't deny Christ i will shoot you... ok shoot.
At the same time i completely believe in protecting ones self and loved ones against bad guys. . Also protecting those who need help ie: WWII

Sorta like this
1Ti 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
