Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written,
Vengeance is mine; I will repay,
says the Lord.
All Commentaries on Romans 12:19 Go To Romans 12
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
This is written lest another’s wrath draw you into sin when you want to offer resistance, when you want to be avenged. You can take the fault from him and from yourself if you decide to yield to the other.
