What does the Bible say about people who dont like you?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that when people dislike or mistreat you, God calls you to trust Him, respond with love and integrity, and leave justice in His hands. Jesus commands His followers in Luke 6:27 to love their enemies and do good to those who hate them. Romans 12:17-21 forbids revenge and urges believers to overcome evil with good. Rather than living in fear of others' opinions, Proverbs 3:4-6 and Isaiah 41:10 direct us to seek the Lord's wisdom and rely on His presence. We may cast our anxieties on God, as 1 Peter 5:7 says, knowing that Christ strengthens and keeps His people.
