We show love of neighbor even if our message is rejected by an angry householder who berates us. We imitate Jesus: “When he was being insulted, he did not insult in return. When he was suffering, he did not threaten, but he entrusted himself to the One [Jehovah] who judges righteously.” (1 Peter 2:23) Whether we are with fellow believers or others, we show humility & apply the counsel: “Do not pay back injury for injury or insult for insult. Instead, repay with a blessing.” (1 Peter 3:8, 9)
