    Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
     
  • 1 Corinthians 6:6-7
    But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers! Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?

  • Romans 12:17-21
    Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.

    If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
    For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head."
    Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
