BIBLE VERSES ON NON-VIOLENCE

Be guided by these Bible verses on non-violence:

Simeon and Levi are brothers — their swords are weapons of violence. Let me not enter their council, let me not join their assembly, for they have killed men in their anger and hamstrung oxen as they pleased. Cursed be their anger, so fierce, and their fury, so cruel! I will scatter them in Jacob and disperse them in Israel.

May the Lord judge between you and me. And may the Lord avenge the wrongs you have done to me, but my hand will not touch you. As the old saying goes, ‘From evildoers come evil deeds,’ so my hand will not touch you.
I Samuel 24:12-13

“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.”

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.
