1 Peter 3:9
“Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.”
Understanding this passage
Peter calls believers to break the cycle of payback. Blessing those who hurt you is part of the calling that leads to blessing.
Why this verse helps
Anger wants to match insult with insult. This verse gives another way: repay with blessing and trust God for the outcome.
A prayer for you
Jesus, when I am insulted, help me bless instead of striking back. Amen.
