God’s advice for when you are wronged

But I (Jesus) say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,  Matt 5:44

Bless those who persecute (you), bless and do not curse them.  Romans 12:14

Do not repay anyone evil for evil; … Rather, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head.”  Romans 12:17-20

… be of one mind, sympathetic, loving toward one another, compassionate, humble.  Do not return evil for evil, or insult for insult; but, on the contrary, a blessing, because to this you were called, that you might inherit a blessing.  1 Peter 3:8-9

For whenever anyone bears the pain of unjust suffering because of consciousness of God, that is a grace.   1 Peter 2:19

… everyone should be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath, for the wrath of a man does not accomplish the righteousness of God.  James 1:20

Your every act should be done with love.  1 Cor 16:14

All bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, and reviling must be removed from you, along with all malice.  (And) be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ.  Eph 4:31-32

Anybody who is convinced that he belongs to Christ must go on to reflect that we all belong to Christ no less than he does.  2 Cor 10:7  (The Jerusalem Bible translation)

… God our savior, … wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth.  1 Tim 2:3-4
