| Vengeance |
 |
|
| 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; |
