Leviticus 24:19-24:21
Anyone who maims another shall suffer the same injury in return: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; the injury inflicted is the injury to be suffered. One who kills an animal shall make restitution for it; but one who kills a human being shall be put to death.
Luke 6:27-31
But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Exodus 15:3
The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
Romans 15:33
Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
Did God have a mood-swing or something? If someone does me harm should I insist on revenge, or should I grin and bear it? Will God support my vengeance? Will he smite me? Will he forgive me for taking vengeance?
