The One Year Bible - Day 140

I mentioned yesterday about how we need to let God deal with people who are out of line and just look after our own position before God. However, what we read about today involves other people. Imagine that you really can't stand someone and you secretly want to punch them in the face. You might decide that you shouldn't but if someone else did, you would be more than happy. This passage shows that this attitude is also wrong. Just because someone else does the 'dirty work', doesn't absolve you from blame.
If someone asked you if you wanted them to punch this guy in the face, what do you say?
1) I can't possibly comment (i.e. yes please)
2) Yes please
3) Well if you did, I wouldn't mind
4) It would be wrong to punch him
