It is often associated with injustice, oppression, and the violation of God's commandments. The Bible portrays violence as a manifestation of human sinfulness and rebellion against God's order.<br><br><b>Old Testament References:</b> <br>The Old Testament frequently addresses the issue of violence, often condemning it as contrary to God's will. In <a href="/genesis/6-11.htm">Genesis 6:11-13</a>, the earth is described as being "corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence." This widespread violence was a significant factor leading to the divine judgment of the Flood. The prophet Isaiah also speaks against violence, highlighting its association with injustice: "Their feet run to evil; they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; ruin and destruction lie in their wake" (<a href="/isaiah/59-7.htm">Isaiah 59:7</a>).<br><br>The Mosaic Law contains numerous prohibitions against acts of violence, emphasizing justice and the protection of the innocent. For example, <a href="/exodus/20-13.htm">Exodus 20:13</a> commands, "You shall not murder," underscoring the sanctity of human life. The law also prescribes penalties for violent acts, such as in <a href="/exodus/21-12.htm">Exodus 21:12-14</a>, which outlines consequences for intentional and unintentional killings.<br><br><b>New Testament Teachings:</b> <br>The New Testament continues to denounce violence, urging believers to pursue peace and love. Jesus Christ, in His Sermon on the Mount, calls His followers to a higher standard: "You have heard that it was said to the ancients, 'Do not murder,' and 'Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment" (<a href="/matthew/5-21.htm">Matthew 5:21-22</a>). Here, Jesus equates harboring anger with the act of murder, emphasizing the importance of inner purity and reconciliation.<br><br>The apostle Paul also addresses violence, urging Christians to live peaceably with all people: "If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone" (<a href="/romans/12-18.htm">Romans 12:18</a>). He further instructs believers to overcome evil with good, rather than resorting to violence or vengeance (<a href="/romans/12-19.htm">Romans 12:19-21</a>).<br><br><b>Spiritual Implications:</b> <br>Violence is often depicted as a work of the flesh, in contrast to the fruit of the Spirit. <a href="/galatians/5-19.htm">Galatians 5:19-21</a> lists "hatred, discord, jealousy, rage, rivalries, divisions, factions" among the acts of the sinful nature, which are opposed to the Spirit-led life. The Bible calls believers to embody the virtues of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (<a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22-23</a>).<br><br><b>Eschatological Perspective:</b> <br>The Bible anticipates a future where violence will be eradicated, and God's peace will reign supreme. Prophetic visions, such as those in <a href="/isaiah/2-4.htm">Isaiah 2:4</a>, foretell a time when "they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor will they train anymore for war." This eschatological hope reflects God's ultimate plan to restore creation to its intended harmony and peace.<br><br><b>Practical Application:</b> <br>Believers are called to be peacemakers, reflecting the character of Christ in a world marred by violence. This involves actively seeking reconciliation, promoting justice, and demonstrating love even to one's enemies. The call to non-violence and peace is a distinctive mark of the Christian witness, as followers of Christ are urged to "pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification" (<a href="/romans/14-19.htm">Romans 14:19</a>).<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/romans/13-4.htm">Romans 13:4</a></span><br>For he is the minister of God to you for good.

Difficulty is offered only by the very obscure passage <a href="/matthew/11-12.htm">Matthew 11:12</a> parallel <a href="/luke/16-16.htm">Luke 16:16</a>. Both Matthew and Luke contain the verb biazetai, but this form maybe either a middle, "presses violently," "storms," or a passive, "is forced." Matthew, in addition, contains the adjective biastai, but whether this is a term of praise, "heroic enthusiasts," or of blame, "hot-headed revolutionaries," is again a problem. Nor can it be determined whether the words "from the days of John the Baptist until now" are meant to include or exclude the work of the Baptist himself. The difference in wording in Matthew and Luke further complicates the problem, and, in consequence, scholars are widely at variance as to the proper interpretation. "The Baptist has fanned a new Messianic storm of ill-advised insurrection," "the Pharisees have shamefully used forcible suppression of God's teachers," "the Kingdom of God comes like a storm and is received by those who have used drastic self-discipline," are instances of the differing explanations proposed.<br><br>Burton Scott Easton<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/5196.htm"><span class="l">5196. hubris -- wantonness, insolence, an act of wanton <b>violence</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> wantonness, insolence, an act of wanton <b>violence</b>.
