Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,
We must follow the example of the Thessalonians, and with patience and faith endure all persecutions that come our way. While enduring persecutions, we should be conscious of the fact that it is not our place to avenge wrong done to us, but instead God will avenge evils done to His children. In Romans 12:19, the Apostle Paul says, "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."
