Mat 5:40 | PNT | STEP | If any man will sue . That is, is about to sue thee. Take away thy coat . The inner garment, the tunic or shirt. Cloke . The outer garment, the covering at night. It could not be held by a creditor ( ). Better to give it up, too, than to engage in litigation. Many a poor soul has realized this when it was too late, and the lawyers had divided his property. Avoid lawsuits.

‏ Matthew 5:40

If any man will sue. That is, is about to sue thee.

Take away thy coat. The inner garment, the tunic or shirt.

Cloke. The outer garment, the covering at night. It could not be held by a creditor (Ex 22:26-27). Better to give it up, too, than to engage in litigation. Many a poor soul has realized this when it was too late, and the lawyers had divided his property. Avoid lawsuits.
