The Bible is very practical.
Everybody don't want peace.
You try to give peace to somebody and they still got a problem with you.
It gives you a caveat.
It said, as much as it depends on you, you do your part.
And then it calls you beloved.
Never avenge yourselves.
Don't try to pay back, beloved.
Don't do it.
I know you're tempted.
They may deserve it, but that's not your calling.
I'm not saying what they did was right.
In many cases, it was out and out, sin and evil.
But don't try to pay them back.
That actually weighs on your soul.
When you try to do evil, you absorb that soul, that evil to even give it out.
Now your soul is tainted by evil.
And that's not your portion.
Your father has another way of dealing with it.
He said, vengeance is mine.
