Vengeance is not just physical
actions we take against others. One of the most common ways to take vengeance
is by saying things to hurt others. Others harm us (or we imagine so), so we
say defamatory things to "get even." Someone accuses us of something,
so we respond, "Well, what about the time when you..."
Sin must be rebuked. But when we do
so, we must be sure that we are motivated by concern for the sinner and others
who may be involved, not by a desire for vengeance.
