What is Revenge?
        REVENGE
        is the most primitive mode in which crime is dealt with in society, and the whole tendency and spirit of the Mosaic Law goes to discourage and check it. This law permitted a man to execute punishment upon the slayer of any of his relatives, but for the purpose of restraining the blood-feuds common in the East at that day. In the N.T. the feeling of revenge is strongly condemned. Matt 5:39.
