love vs retaliation

Love: Seeks the good of others (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). Is patient, kind, and forgiving (Colossians 3:13). Overcomes evil with good (Romans 12:21). Vengeance: Is driven by anger and a desire for retribution (Romans 12:19). Leads to more harm and perpetuates a cycle of violence (Proverbs 24:29). Is discouraged, as God says vengeance belongs to Him (Deuteronomy 32:35). The Bible encourages us to choose love over vengeance, trusting that God will ultimately bring justice in His time and way.
