Christians do not all agree on the use of punishment.
The Old Testament:
"If anyone injures his neighbour, whatever he has done must be done to him: fracture for fracture, eye for an eye, tooth for tooth". Leviticus 24:19-20 Therefore the punishment should not exceed the offence committed.
The New Testament:
"Obey the government, for God is the one who put it there. All governments have been placed in power by God.“ Romans 13:1
Jesus taught that punishments should give the offender a chance to reform and repent for their sins. Jesus even asked God to forgive the people who crucified him.
“Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favouritism.” Colossians 3:25
