“Longsuffering is that quality of self-restraint in the face of provocations which does not hastily retaliate or promptly punish; it is the opposite of anger and is associated with mercy,…”

13. “Vengeance is Mine Saith the Lord”
Deut 32:35 “Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; their foot shall slip in due time; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things to come hasten upon them.”
Rom 12:19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
Heb 10:30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people.”

14. Levels of Personal Vengeance
• Avoidance/silence (as tools of retaliation)
• Irritation
• Shortness (of consideration or temper)
• Resentment
• Bitterness
• Hatred
• Scheming/stewing
• Verbal attack (criticism/backbiting/cursing/defamation)
• Overt retaliation (physical assault/legal action)
