The Declaration of Independence is a famous document for many reasons. It declared the colonies independence from Great Britain. It stated basic rights and liberties for Americans. As time went by, the ideas Jeffersonâs words âall men are created equalâ grew in importance.
Romans 12:19 (DBY) not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance [belongs] to me, *I* will recompense, saith the Lord.
Romans 12:19-20 (NASB) 19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, âVengeance is Mine, I will repay,â says the Lord. 20 âBut if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.â. Psalm 140:9-11 provides one possible answer, since there appears the same parallel of coals falling upon the head.
