Disrespectful Treatment of our Enemies is Sin

It is alright to remove ourselves from our enemies if possible, but we are never to exact revenge against them, nor are we to withhold blessing when in their presence.

Those who choose to treat with disrespect those they perceive to be their enemies are in disobedience to the Word of God.

Psalm 109:2-5
"For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues. They encircle me with words of hate, and attack me without cause. In return for my love they accuse me, but I give myself to prayer. So they reward me evil for good, and hatred for my love."

Romans 12:14
"Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them."

Proverbs 24:17
"Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles,"
