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

Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.

You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am Jehovah.

Now therefore, my lord, as Jehovah lives and as your soul lives, since Jehovah has held you back from coming to blood and from delivering yourself with your own hand, now then, let your enemies and those who seek evil upon my lord be as Nabal.

And blessed is your discernment and blessed are you, because you have kept me this day from coming to blood and from delivering myself with my own hand.

Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;

Do not fret yourself because of evildoers, nor be envious of the wicked;

Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because of what Edom did against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has become very guilty from avenging itself on them,

But I tell you, Do not resist evil. But whoever hits you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either.

But He turned and rebuked them, and said, You do not know what sort of spirit you are of.

For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them. And they went to another village.

For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.

Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; their foot shall slip in due time; for the day of their calamity is near, and the things prepared have made haste upon them.

Rejoice, O nations, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and render vengeance to His adversaries; He will provide atonement for His land and His people.

O Jehovah, Mighty God, to whom vengeance belongs; O Mighty God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!

Jehovah, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?

The Mighty God is jealous, and Jehovah avenges, Jehovah avenges and is a possessor of wrath. Jehovah takes vengeance against His foes, and He maintains wrath against His enemies.

Jehovah is slow to anger, and great of power, and He does not by any means acquit the guilty. Jehovah has His way in the tempest and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.

For we know Him who has said, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge His people.
