Recompense to no man evil for evil. Romans 12:17
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Romans 12:19
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. Matthew 5:40
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. Luke 6:29
And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Matthew 5:41
How much is being a Christian worth?

Is that what it comes down to? Are you saying you can't be a (real) Christian, if you sue someone, contrary to the scriptures you (and I

) posted? Is that part of the "cost" you talk about?
Can you
buy salvation? If not, then why talk about its
cost?
