"Don’t pay back evil with evil. Be careful to do what everyone thinks is right. If possible, live in peace with everyone. Do that as much as you can. My friends, don’t try to get even. Leave room for God to show his anger. It is written, “I am the One who judges people. I will pay them back,” says the Lord." Romans 12:17-19
Is this admonition (or principle) only found in the bible or can it be found in other religious books?
Update:Paul@Acknowledged! However you are lacking something...

Beside these is "resist not evil" which is to say, we are to not confront or withstand mistreatment, but rather take the wrong and forgive. (Mat 5:29a) Christ goes on to explain in all situations we are n ot to retaliate in any way.
Beside this is (1 Pet 3:8-12) "Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil".
You don't get through life by being a door mat. This Christian turning the other cheek nonsense does not work against an ideology like Nazism or Islam. The secular law allows for reasonable force to defend yourself and I think this is a far more pragmatic approach. I will always slap back because I hate losing sleep over things.Life is to short.
The question should be "do the holy books of other religious faiths implore the little people to leave justice in the hands of the rich and powerful, who hide behind the invented god which they claim appointed them to take what they have stolen"!
