difference is that one was committed
first, the other later.

But the community has the right of defense and of self-protection;
moreover, the community has no hatred nor animosity for the
murderer: it imprisons or punishes him merely for the protection
and security of others. ...

Thus when Christ said: "Whosoever shall smite thee on the right
cheek, turn to him the left one also," it was for the purpose of
teaching men not to take personal revenge. He did not mean that if
a wolf should fall upon a flock of sheep and wish to destroy it,
that the wolf should be encouraged to do so. No, if Christ had
known that a wolf had entered the fold and was about to destroy
the sheep, most certainly he would have prevented it. ...

... the constitution of the communities depends upon justice....
Then what Christ meant by forgiveness and pardon is not that, when
nations attack you, burn your homes, plunder your goods, assault
your wives, children, and relatives, and violate your honour, you
should be submissive in the presence of these tyrannical foes, and
allow them to perform all their cruelties and oppressions. No, the
words of Christ refer to the conduct of two individuals towards
each other: if one person assaults another, the injured one should
forgive him. But the communities must protect the rights of man.
...

One thing remains to be said: it is that the communities are day
and night occupied in making penal laws, and in preparing and
organizing instruments and means of punishment. They build
prisons, make chains and fetters, arrange places of exile and
banishment, and different kinds of hardships and tortures, and
think by these means to discipline criminals; whereas, in reality,
they are causing destruction of morals and perversion of
characters. The community, on the contrary, ought day and night to
strive and endeavour with the utmost zeal and effort to accomplish
the education of men, to cause them day by day to progress and to
increase in science and knowledge, to acquire virtues, to gain
good morals and to avoid vices, so that crimes may not occur.--Some
