Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 15. - See that none render evil for evil unto any. The prohibition of revenge is peculiarly Christian, neither corresponding to the spirit of heathenism, nor yet clearly revealed in Judaism. A precisely similar prohibition is given in Romans 12:17, "Recompense to no man evil for evil." But ever follow; pursue after. That which is good; the good, the beneficial. Both among yourselves; your fellow-Christians. And to all men. The human race in general; the one being brotherly kindness and the other charity (2 Peter 1:7).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) See that.--The exhortation is given to those who have the authority to oversee the Church (Acts 19:28; 1Peter 5:2).None render evil for evil.--Like the prohibition of fornication, abstinence from revenge is practically a new thought for Greeks, among whom feuds were frequent and undying. (Comp. Romans 1:31; Titus 3:3.)That which is good--i.e., that which is kind. (See Note on 1Thessalonians 3:6.) This duty is to be "followed," i.e., made an object to be pursued eagerly, "toward all men." There is not one standard of morals towards the brethren and another towards the world. . . .
