ઓ વહાલાઓ, તમે સામું વૈર ન વાળો, પણ ઈશ્વરના કોપને માટે માર્ગ મૂકો; કેમ કે લખેલું છે કે, પ્રભુ કહે છે કે, ‘વૈર વાળવું એ મારું કામ છે; હું બદલો લઈશ.’”
हिन्दीरोमियों १२:१९
हे प्रियों अपना बदला न लेना; परन्तु परमेश्वर को क्रोध का अवसर दो, क्योंकि लिखा है, “बदला लेना मेरा काम है, प्रभु कहता है मैं ही बदला दूँगा।” (व्यव. 32:35)
