So we move on considering the exhortations in 1 Thessalonians 5 v 14 ff. '' Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do good for each other and for everyone else.'' I like J.B. Phillips translation of this verse. ''Be sure that no one repays a bad turn by a bad turn; good should be your objective always, among yourselves and in the world at large'' There is a lot of wrong things ,unjust things happening to many people,acid being thrown at people , it was challenging to hear a young man on the news who experienced such an attack,saying he forgave the person who did it. He realised that justice must be carried out,but on a personal level he forgave him.
