Revenge: Forbidden

Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against any of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.

Do not say, “I will do to him as he has done to me; I will repay the man according to his work.”

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in the eyes of everybody.

Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”

Make sure that no one repays evil for evil. Always pursue what is good for one another and for all people.

Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
