An Abundance of Enemies Christianity makes enemies Matt. 10:35-37 – For I have come to turn “a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law – a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.” Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

We Always Pray Luke 6:28 -- bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

Freeing A Scorpion 2 Peter 3:9 -- The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Treat Others As God Treated Us Romans 5:10 -- For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!

Vengeance Belongs To God Romans 12:19-21 Do not take revenge God will avenge evil Feed your enemy Heap burning coals Overcome evil with good.
