The policeman is sent by God to help you. So if you don’t want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. For the policeman does not frighten people who are doing right but those doing evil will always fear him. So those who refuse to obey the laws of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow. There is no government anywhere that God has not placed in power. We must obey the law: The government has the power to punish those who disobey the law.Ĩ. Romans 13:1-6 Obey the government, for God is the one who has put it there. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”ħ. Proverbs 20:22 Do not say, “I’ll pay you back for this wrong!” Wait for the LORD, and he will avenge you. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Romans 12:17-19 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.
If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”Ħ.
He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. Matthew 5:38-48 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.ĥ. The rest of the people will hear of this and be afraid, and never again will such an evil thing be done among you. Deuteronomy 19:19-21 then do to the false witness as that witness intended to do to the other party. Leviticus 24:17 Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death.Ĥ. But whoever kills another person must be put to death. “The law will be the same for the foreigner as for those from your own country. Whoever kills another person’s animal must give that person another animal to take its place. Anyone who injures another person must be injured in the same way in return. Leviticus 24:19-22 And whoever causes an injury to a neighbor must receive the same kind of injury in return: Broken bone for broken bone, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. But if there is further injury, then the punishment that must be paid is life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.”Ģ. If there is no further injury, the man who caused the accident must pay money-whatever amount the woman’s husband says and the court allows. Never get revenge on anyone, but let God handle the situation.ġ. Exodus 21:22-25 “Suppose two men are fighting and hit a pregnant woman, causing the baby to come out. Just like now if you kill someone a judge will hand down a punishment for your crime. This was used in the legal system for serious crimes. We pay our respects to them and their cultures and to Elders both past and present.Many people use this Old Testament saying to justify getting revenge, but Jesus said we should not seek retaliation and we should not resort to fighting.
