Enemy: General Scriptures Concerning

If you see the donkey of one who hates you fallen under its load, do not leave it there; you must help him with it.

If I have rejoiced in my enemy’s ruin, or exulted when evil befell him—

I have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking for his life with a curse—

Of David. Contend with my opponents, O LORD; fight against those who fight against me. …

Do not gloat when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles,

…or the LORD will see and disapprove, and turn His wrath away from him.

If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.

For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.

You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’ …

But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, …

Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse.

On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
