Then<n id="1" /> you will be blessed,<n id="2" /> because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid<n id="3" /> at the resurrection of the righteous.&#8221;p>

For it is right<n id="1" /> for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God&#8217;s wrath,<n id="1" /> for it is written, &#8220;<i><b>Vengeance is mineb>, <b>I will repayb>i>,&#8221;<n id="2" /> says the Lord.

For how can we thank God enough for you,<n id="1" /> for all the joy we feel<n id="2" /> because of you before our God?

For we know the one who said, &#8220;<i><b>Vengeance is mineb>, <b>I will repayb>i>,&#8221;<n id="1" /> and again, &#8220;<b><i>The Lord will judge his peoplei>b>.&#8221;<n id="2" />
