I think a good example is the whole “turn the other cheek” thing, and “if someone sues you for your coat, give him your shirt”. Because it was to do with exposing the clear injustice and being equal. Same with the “go with him two”. It’s less so about being a pushover, but putting yourself on equal footing and being respectful.
Also another funny example: I was working with someone from another country who’s a very new Christian and also to the English language, and they read “as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.” and they thought it was to do with the political east and west, instead of how it’s describing infinity via cardinal directions.
