3 Trust in the Lord and do good that
you may dwell in the land and live secure. 4 Find your
delight in the Lord who will give you your heart’s desire.
5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust
in him and he will act 6 And make your righteousness shine like
the dawn, your
justice like noonday.
7 Be still before the Lord; wait
for him. Do
not be provoked by the prosperous, nor by malicious
schemers.
8 Refrain from anger; abandon wrath; do
not be provoked; it brings only harm. 9Those who do evil will
be cut off,
but those who wait for the Lord will inherit the earth.
Psalm 37:34
Wait for the Lord, and keep to his way, and he will exalt you to possess the land; you will look on the destruction of the wicked.

Sirach 28:2-7
Pardon your neighbor any wrongs done to you, and when you pray, your sins will be forgiven.
Pardon your neighbor any wrongs done to you, and when you pray, your sins will be forgiven.
3 If anyone nurses anger
against another, can one then demand compassion from the Lord?
4 Showing no pity for
someone like oneself, can one then plead for one's own sins?
5 Mere creature of flesh,
yet cherishing resentment!-who will forgive one for sinning?
6 Remember the last things,
and stop hating, corruption and death, and be faithful to the commandments.
7 Remember the
commandments, and do not bear your fellow ill-will, remember the covenant of
the Most High, and ignore the offence.
Matthew 5:43-48
You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

Matthew 18:23-35
Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants. 24 When he began the reckoning, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents; 25 and as he could not pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’ 27 And out of pity for him the lord of that servant released him and forgave him the debt. 28 But that same servant, as he went out, came upon one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and seizing him by the throat he said, ‘Pay what you owe.’ 29 So his fellow servant fell down and besought him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’ 30 He refused and went and put him in prison till he should pay the debt. 31 When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their lord all that had taken place. 32 Then his lord summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you besought me; 33 and should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ 34 And in anger his lord delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all his debt. 35 So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”

Luke 6:27-35
But I say to you that hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29 To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who takes away your cloak do not withhold your coat as well. 30 Give to every one who begs from you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again. 31 And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them.32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish.

Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 No, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

But if when you do right and suffer for it you take it patiently, you have God’s approval.
