Don’t pay back anyone for their evil actions with evil actions, but show respect for what everyone else believes is good. If possible, to the best of your ability, live at peace with all people. Don’t try to get revenge for yourselves, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath. It is written, Revenge belongs to me; I will pay it back, says the Lord. Instead, If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. By doing this, you will pile burning coals of fire upon his head. Don’t be defeated by evil, but defeat evil with good.
Don’t be in debt to anyone, except for the obligation to love each other. Whoever loves another person has fulfilled the Law. The commandments, Don’t commit adultery, don’t murder, don’t steal, don’t desire what others have, and any other commandments, are all summed up in one word: You must love your neighbor as yourself. Love doesn’t do anything wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is what fulfills the Law.(Romans 12:17-21; 13:8-10, CEB)
Do not seek revenge but leave space for God. Love those who hate you and persecute you. Feed them, give them a drink, for in doing so you pile burning coals upon their head. Do not let evil win, but overcome evil with love.
The commandments can be done by loving your neighbor.
Love is what fulfills the law. Love is all we need!
Loving People. Loving God.
