TSK · Romans 12:17

Do not say,“I will pay back evil!” Wait for the LORD, so that he may vindicate you.

Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God’s wrath, for it is written,“Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

Instead, does a Christian sue a Christian, and do this before unbelievers?

We did this as a precaution so that no one should blame us in regard to this generous gift we are administering.

Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunities.

See that no one pays back evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.

So I want younger women to marry, raise children, and manage a household, in order to give the adversary no opportunity to vilify us.

and maintain good conduct among the non-Christians, so that though they now malign you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God when he appears.

Yet do it with courtesy and respect, keeping a good conscience, so that those who slander your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame when they accuse you.
