The King James Version mention Topaz in Exodus 28:17 in reference to a stone in the Hoshen:

"And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle (garnet): this shall be the first row''

This could easily be a translation error, or just this is the closest thing we know to relate it to. In the Hebrew text where it list the loooooong list of all of them it says "like Gold, like rubies..ect"

"If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic."

I have always liked this one, it is somewhat idealistic, but it is a good thing to aspire too even though it cannot be truly always practiced in reality.

Romans 12:1, 2: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.


Matthew 6:19-21: Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
