Avenger
Are you familiar with the popular movie series The Avengers?
This is one of my favorites.
I love the good versus evil.
These superheroes have abilities beyond natural.
They are always avenging the evil on our behalf.
This is fictional.
In reality we always try to avenge ourselves.
Paul is reminding us here or warning us that God is an avenger far more than the fictional characters mentioned above.
We must be careful not to entice others to sin in any matter. There are sexual implications here, but Paul adds that in any matter; God will avenge us when we are taken advantage of.
God will also hold us accountable if we take advantage of another.
Let us each manage our own behavior and let God take care of the rest.
