1 Corinthians 6:7

Why, the very fact that you have lawsuits with one another is already a defeat. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

Proverbs 20:22

Do not say, “I will repay evil”;
Wait [expectantly] for the Lord, and He will rescue and save you.

and never return evil for evil or insult for insult [avoid scolding, berating, and any kind of abuse], but on the contrary, give a blessing [pray for one another’s well-being, contentment, and protection]; for you have been called for this very purpose, that you might inherit a blessing [from God that brings well-being, happiness, and protection].

Proverbs 2:5

Then you will understand the [reverent] fear of the Lord [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome]
And discover the knowledge of God.

Proverbs 2:8-10

He guards the paths of justice;
And He preserves the way of His saints (believers).

Hosea 10:2

Their heart is divided (faithless);
Now they must bear their guilt and punishment.
The Lord will break down [the horns of] their altars;
He will destroy their idolatrous pillars.

Matthew 5:39-41

But I say to you, do not resist an evil person [who insults you or violates your rights]; but whoever slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other toward him also [simply ignore insignificant insults or trivial losses and do not bother to retaliate—maintain your dignity, your self-respect, your poise].

Luke 6:29

Whoever strikes you on the cheek, offer him the other one also [simply ignore insignificant insults or losses and do not bother to retaliate—maintain your dignity]. Whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either.

Romans 12:17-19

Never repay anyone evil for evil. Take thought for what is right and gracious and proper in the sight of everyone.

See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek that which is good for one another and for all people.

James 4:1-3

What leads to [the unending] quarrels and conflicts among you? Do they not come from your [hedonistic] desires that wage war in your [bodily] members [fighting for control over you]?

1 Peter 2:19-23

For this finds favor, if a person endures the sorrow of suffering unjustly because of an awareness of [the will of] God.

You may require repayment from a foreigner, but whatever of yours is with your brother [Israelite] your hand shall release.

Do not quarrel with a man without cause,
If he has done you no harm.

If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also [for the Lord repays the offender].

But if you bite and devour one another [in bickering and strife], watch out that you [along with your entire fellowship] are not consumed by one another.
