AR 762 - the law of retaliation

AR 762 [2]
. . . every evil brings its own punishment with itself.
This is similar to what is said frequently in the Word,
that God will bring retribution and vengeance
for injustices and injuries done to Himself,
and from anger and wrath will destroy them;
when yet the evils themselves
which they have committed against God do this;
thus they do it to themselves;
for this is the law of retaliation,
which draws its very origin from this Divine law:

All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them;
for this is the Law and the Prophets.
(Matthew 7:12; Luke 6:31).

This law in heaven is the law of mutual love or charity,
from which it becomes the opposite in hell . . ..
