If you repay good with evil, you will never get evil out of your house.

Don't say, "I'll do to them just what they did to me! I'll get even with them!"

The LORD will take revenge and punish them; the time will come when they will fall; the day of their doom is near.

If someone has done you wrong, do not repay him with a wrong. Try to do what everyone considers to be good.

Never take revenge, my friends, but instead let God's anger do it. For the scripture says, "I will take revenge, I will pay back, says the Lord."

See that no one pays back wrong for wrong, but at all times make it your aim to do good to one another and to all people.

Do not pay back evil with evil or cursing with cursing; instead, pay back with a blessing, because a blessing is what God promised to give you when he called you.

Perhaps the LORD will notice my misery and give me some blessings to take the place of his curse."

Trust in the LORD. Have faith, do not despair. Trust in the LORD.

Put your hope in the LORD and obey his commands; he will honor you by giving you the land, and you will see the wicked driven out.

But those who trust in the LORD for help will find their strength renewed. They will rise on wings like eagles; they will run and not get weary; they will walk and not grow weak.

The LORD is good to everyone who trusts in him,

So it is best for us to wait in patience---to wait for him to save us---

When he was insulted, he did not answer back with an insult; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but placed his hopes in God, the righteous Judge.

So then, those who suffer because it is God's will for them, should by their good actions trust themselves completely to their Creator, who always keeps his promise.
