The child of God may not set himself to "get even" with another, nor retaliate in kind against any who might slight or wrong him.

The necessity of love 12:9-21Romans 12:9-13 deal with the importance of demonstrating love to fellow believers, and Romans 12:14-21 broaden this responsibility to include wider application to non-believers. Note the similarity with Jesus’ instructions in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7)."From the thought of humility the idea of love naturally follows, for humility will necessarily express itself in affection for those around."
