EMPTYING BUCKET TWO A.Did you return evil for evil? Romans 12:17-21 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." To the contrary, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

EMPTYING BUCKET TWO E.Should you confront the person who sinned against you, and if so, have you done it? Matthew 18:15 If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.

EMPTYING BUCKET TWO E.Should you confront the person who sinned against you, and if so, have you done it? F.If you confronted the person who sinned against you and he asked forgiveness, have you granted it? Luke 17:3 Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
