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.
