Do not pay back with evil

1 Peter 3:9

9Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.


Proverbs 17:13


13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.


Ephesians 4:32

32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Luke 6:29

29And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

Matthew 5:39

39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

This is a hard thing to do but with God ALL things are surely possible. When we are kind to those who mistreat us, it is like pouring hot coals upon their heads.
