Romans 12:19 · Berean Standard Bible
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.”*
Context
17Msimlipe mtu yeyote ovu kwa ovu. Jitahidini ili mtende yaliyo mema machoni pa watu wote. 18Kama ikiwezekana, kwa upande wenu kaeni kwa amani na watu wote. 19Wapendwa, msilipize kisasi, bali ipisheni ghadhabu ya Mungu, maana imeandikwa: “Ni juu yangu kulipiza kisasi, nitalipiza,” asema Bwana. 20Badala yake:
“Kama adui yako ana njaa, mlishe;
kama ana kiu, mpe kinywaji.
Kwa kufanya hivyo,
unaweka makaa ya moto yanayowaka kichwani pake.” 21Usishindwe na ubaya, bali uushinde ubaya kwa wema.
