1 Samuel 17:29

And David said, "What have I done now? Was it not but a word?"

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party criticized him, saying,

The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one.

Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.
