Job 31:29-30
|
If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
|
|
|
Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
|
|
Proverbs 20:22
|
Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
|
|
Isaiah 35:3-4
|
Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
|
|
|
Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
|
|
Matthew 5:38-48
|
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
|
|
|
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
|
|
|
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
|
|
|
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
|
|
|
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
|
|
|
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
|
|
|
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
|
|
Matthew 26:52-53
|
Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
|
|
|
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
|
|
Romans 12:17-21
|
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
|
|
|
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
|
|
|
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
|
|
|
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
|
|
|
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
|
|
2 Thessalonians 1:6-9
|
Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
|
|
|
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
|
|
|
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
|
|
|
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
|
