(NASB) <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/category\/bits-of-torah-truths\/ \">https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/category\/bits-of-torah-truths\/ <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Romans 12:19 teaches that disciples of Yeshua must refuse personal vengeance and instead entrust justice to God. The Torah provides the foundational commands that prohibit private retaliation and place judgment solely in God\u2019s hands or in the lawful authorities He appoints.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8211; Torah parallels &#8211;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Deuteronomy 32:35 \u2013 God declares, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cVengeance is Mine,\u201d<\/em><\/span> establishing that retribution belongs to Him alone, not to individuals.<\/li>\n<li>Leviticus 19:18 \u2013 Israel is commanded not to take vengeance or bear a grudge, but to love their neighbor, directly prohibiting personal retaliation.<\/li>\n<li>Exodus 23:4\u20115 \u2013 Israel must return an enemy\u2019s lost animal and help even one who hates them, showing that kindness replaces vengeance.<\/li>\n<li>Deuteronomy 19:15\u201121 \u2013 Justice is administered through judges, not personal revenge, reinforcing that individuals may not execute their own retaliation.<\/li>\n<li>Numbers 35:9\u201134 \u2013 The avenger of blood operates only within God\u2011given legal boundaries, showing that vengeance is regulated by divine law, not personal impulse.<\/li>\n<li>Exodus 21:22\u201127 \u2013 The lex talionis (<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201ceye for eye\u201d<\/em><\/span>) is given to judges, not individuals, demonstrating that measured justice belongs to lawful authority, not private vengeance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>&#8211; Context Synthesis &#8211;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Paul\u2019s instruction in Romans 12:19 builds directly on the Torah\u2019s insistence that vengeance is God\u2019s prerogative and that His people must not repay evil with evil. The Torah repeatedly removes the right of personal retaliation and replaces it with either divine judgment or structured legal processes. Acts of kindness toward enemies, prohibitions against grudges, and the central declaration that vengeance belongs to God all form the background for Paul\u2019s teaching. Thus, the apostolic command is not new but a continuation of the Torah\u2019s vision of a community shaped by trust in God\u2019s justice rather than personal retribution.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8211; Core Insight &#8211;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Torah teaches that God alone is the rightful judge and that His people must not take justice into their own hands. Paul applies this same principle to life in Yeshua, calling believers to reject personal vengeance and entrust all wrongs to the God who judges righteously. This is how Paul taught Torah in the NT; the Torah has not passed away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visual Summary of Concepts the Torah in the NT<a
