Exodus 23:4-5
|
If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
|
|
|
If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
|
|
Psalms 35:12-15
|
They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
|
|
|
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
|
|
|
I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
|
|
|
But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
|
|
Proverbs 16:7
|
When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
|
|
Proverbs 24:17-18
|
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
|
|
|
Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
|
|
Proverbs 25:21-22

If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
|
|
|
For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.
|
|
Matthew 5:43-48
|
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
|
|
|
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
|
|
|
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
|
|
|
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
|
|
|
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
|
|
|
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
|
|
Romans 12:17-21
|
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
|
|
|
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
|
|
|
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
|
|
|
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
|
|
|
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
|
|
Hebrews 12:14
|
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
