It is a response driven by the desire to inflict harm or punishment on someone who has caused offense. The concept of revenge is addressed in various parts of the Bible, where it is often contrasted with the principles of forgiveness and divine justice. Old Testament References: The Old Testament contains numerous instances where revenge is depicted, both in narrative and legal contexts. The principle of "an eye for an eye" is found in the Mosaic Law, specifically in <a href="/exodus/21-24.htm">Exodus 21:24</a>, "eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot." This law was intended to limit retribution and ensure that punishment was proportional to the offense, rather than excessive. However, personal revenge is discouraged. <a href="/leviticus/19-18.htm">Leviticus 19:18</a> instructs, "Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against any of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD." This command emphasizes the importance of love and forgiveness over personal vendettas. New Testament Teachings: The New Testament further develops the theme of refraining from revenge, emphasizing forgiveness and leaving judgment to God. Jesus Christ, in His Sermon on the Mount, teaches against retaliation: "But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also" (<a href="/matthew/5-39.htm">Matthew 5:39</a>). This radical teaching calls for a response of non-retaliation and love, even towards one's enemies. The Apostle Paul echoes this sentiment in <a href="/romans/12-19.htm">Romans 12:19</a>, "Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: 'Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.'" This passage underscores the belief that God is the ultimate judge and avenger, and that humans should not usurp His role by taking revenge into their own hands. Theological Implications: The biblical stance on revenge highlights the importance of trusting in God's justice and sovereignty. By refraining from personal vengeance, believers demonstrate faith in God's ability to right wrongs and administer justice in His perfect timing. This trust in divine justice is coupled with the call to love and forgive others, reflecting the character of Christ. Practical Application: Christians are encouraged to apply these teachings by practicing forgiveness and seeking reconciliation rather than revenge. This involves a conscious decision to let go of grudges and to respond to offenses with grace and mercy. By doing so, believers not only obey biblical commands but also serve as witnesses to the transformative power of the Gospel in their lives. Conclusion: While the desire for revenge is a natural human response to being wronged, the Bible consistently calls believers to a higher standard of love, forgiveness, and trust in God's justice. Through the teachings of both the Old and New Testaments, Christians are guided to reject personal vengeance and to embody the principles of mercy and grace.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

In English these words are synonymous in that they are both used to express the infliction of punishment upon the wrongdoer, but "to take revenge" may also imply a spiteful, wrong or malignant spirit. In the latter case, the Revised Version (British and American) preserves "revenge" (compare <a href="/jeremiah/20-10.htm">Jeremiah 20:10</a> <a href="/ezekiel/25-15.htm">Ezekiel 25:15</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/25-17.htm">Ezekiel 25:17</a> is an anthropomorphism), but, wherever it is synonymous with "avenge," this word is used (compare <a href="/numbers/31-2.htm">Numbers 31:2, 3</a> <a href="/psalms/79-10.htm">Psalm 79:10</a> <a href="/nahum/1-2.htm">Nahum 1:2</a>; Jdt 13:20; <a href="/romans/13-4.htm">Romans 13:4</a> <a href="/2_corinthians/7-11.htm">2 Corinthians 7:11</a>; <a href="/2_corinthians/10-6.htm">2 Corinthians 10:6</a> the Revised Version (British and American); the King James Version has "revenge" in all these cases). In <a href="/deuteronomy/32-42.htm">Deuteronomy 32:42</a>, the King James Version "revenge" is a wrong translation. Read with the Revised Version (British and American) "from the head of the leaders of the enemy" or the Revised Version margin "the hairy head of the enemy." Compare AVENGE, AVENGER; BLOOD; GOEL. A.
