Romans 12:18-21
If possible, live in peace with everyone. Do that as much as you can.My dear friends, don’t try to get even. Leave room for God to show his anger. It is written,“ I am the God who judges people. I will pay them back,”( Deuteronomy 32:35) says the Lord.Do just the opposite. Scripture says,“ If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. By doing those things, you will pile up burning coals on their heads.”( Proverbs 25:21, 22)Don’t let evil overcome you. Overcome evil by doing good.

1 Corinthians 6 6-1 Corinthians 6 8
Instead, one believer goes to court against another. And this happens in front of unbelievers!When you take another believer to court, you have lost the battle already. Why not be treated wrongly? Why not be cheated?Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong. And you do it to your brothers and sisters.
