Vindictiveness

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.”

Vengeance is Mine; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; for their day of disaster is near, and their doom is coming quickly.”

Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.

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

When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

As soon as night had fallen, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.

Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. …

When daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.

Finally, all of you, be like-minded and sympathetic, love as brothers, be tenderhearted and humble.

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.
