Study Note
The instruction 'not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing' grounds the non-retaliation ethic not merely in moral idealism but in vocational calling and inheritance. The instruction echoes Romans 12:17 ('recompense to no man evil for evil') and Matthew 5:44 ('bless them that curse you'), indicating that non-retaliation was a consistent apostolic ethical standard. The motivation — 'ye are thereunto called' — makes blessing-under-persecution the definition of Christian calling rather than a supererogatory counsel, rooting it in the imitation of Christ who blessed and did not curse. The citation of Psalm 34:12-16 in verses 10-12 grounds the ethic in wisdom tradition: the fear of the Lord leads to turning from evil and doing good, and God's eyes are on the righteous.
