Matthew 26:52Amplified Bible - Classic EditionThen Jesus said to him, Put your sword back into its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. [Gen. 9:6.] See the chapter |
Never return evil for evil or insult for insult (scolding, tongue-lashing, berating), but on the contrary blessing [praying for their welfare, happiness, and protection, and truly pitying and loving them]. For know that to this you have been called, that you may yourselves inherit a blessing [from God–that you may obtain a blessing as heirs, bringing welfare and happiness and protection].
