Comments on: Was behind a landscaping business truck that had "Romans 12:17-19" etched on it – what do those verses mean?

The answer is in verse 19.

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
>>>>

So, No eye for eye or evil for eye……. leave that to Yahweh who said : Vengeance is mine, I WILL REPAY.

Forgiveness and righteousness belongs to a man of Faith in the LORD. For they know no evil done in retaliation is without consequences and shame. The wicked will be justly tried by GOD and not man.

17-19Don’t hit back; discover beauty in everyone. If you’ve got it in you, get along with everybody. Don’t insist on getting even; that’s not for you to do. "I’ll do the judging," says God. "I’ll take care of it."

This is from the Message translation. Makes it a little easier to understand.

And if you feel that you want to get even, remember that God will put everything in place, there are no need to get even, avenge ourselves.

Romans 12:17-21 Self-restraint and obedience to God's law is realized in outgoing concern for others that exceeds and rules over our own self-interest. Even lawful acts may on occasion cause other brethren to stumble or be made weak. Self-control provides the ability to resist what may cause pain to others. Thus, we exercise self-control for others, as well as for ourselves.
