Study Note
Paul's prohibition of personal vengeance is grounded in a quotation from Deuteronomy 32:35 ('Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord'), which transfers the retributive function from the aggrieved party to divine eschatological judgment. The logic is not that wrongs go unaddressed but that the appropriate agent of redress is God — releasing believers from the cycle of reciprocal retaliation by placing ultimate justice in the hands of the righteous Judge. The surrounding context (vv. 17–21) builds a coherent non-retaliation ethic drawing on Proverbs 25:21–22 (heap coals of fire) and the tradition of overcoming evil with good, which Jesus' Sermon on the Mount also develops. The verse is foundational for Christian just-war and pacifist traditions alike, since both acknowledge divine monopoly on ultimate retribution while disagreeing about temporal human responsibility.
