Mat 5:40-42
"And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away."
It looks like you must allow the offence to happen while praying for the offenders. I remember a preacher who preached that Paul when he was Saul must have had a lot of those he persecuted tell him, "Brother Saul, we are praying for you, we know Brother Saul that the Lord Jesus wants you too to be saved." I thought that was awesome.
