{Avenge not} (m(8820)ekdikountes). Independent participle
again of late verb ekdike(935c) from ekdikos, exacting justice
( 13:4 ). See already  Lu 18:5  2Co 10:6 . {But give place unto
wrath} (alla dote topon t(8869) org(8869)). Second aorist active
imperative of did(936d)i, to give. "Give room for the (note article
as in  5:9  1Th 2:16 ) wrath" of God instead of taking vengeance
in your own hands. See  Eph 4:27  for didote topon. Paul quotes
 De 32:35  (the Hebrew rather than the LXX). So have  Heb 10:30 
and the Targum of Onkelos, but the relation between them and Paul
we cannot tell. Socrates and Epictetus condemned personal
vindictiveness as Paul does here. {I will recompense}
(antapod(9373)(935c)). Future active of the double compound verb quoted
also in  11:35 .
