Romans 12:18 (BSB) exhorts us, “If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone.” I love that phrase, “on your part.” In other words, simply saying, “But he started it,” won’t cut it. Especially since verse 17 says, “Do not repay anyone evil for evil.” Even if he did start it, the Bible makes it clear that we’re not supposed to finish it.
