kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other,
just as God in Christ also has forgiven you. (Eph. 4:31–
32)
Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room
for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine,
I will repay,” says the Lord. “But if your enemy is hungry,
feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so
doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not
be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Rom.
12:19–21)
Do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not
give the devil an opportunity. (Eph. 4:26–27)
Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness
without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no
one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of
bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it
many become defiled. (Heb. 12:14–15 ESV)
