What does Romans 12 teach about revenge?

Answered in 1 source

Romans 12 instructs believers to avoid revenge and instead offer kindness to their adversaries.

In Romans 12, Paul transitions from theological teachings to practical instructions for Christian living, emphasizing the need to refrain from seeking personal revenge. The apostle underscores that vengeance belongs to the Lord, urging believers to be kind to their enemies instead. This command challenges the natural human instincts toward retaliation and highlights the necessity of faith to trust in God's justice. Paul presents a compelling argument that our kindness not only reflects Christ's love but also serves as a testimony to the transformative power of the gospel, illustrating that God's ultimate justice will prevail in His timing.
