Compare Deuteronomy 28

There appears to be no representation of the view that the beatitudes in Matthew 5 are a deliberate contrast to the blessings and cursings of Deuteronomy 28. Specifically that this verse, in directly contradicting the curse of withholding rain from the wicked, is doing away with the principle of vengeance completely. 2A00:23C8:4881:DD01:41D1:5261:D192:78E1 (talk) 19:25, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
