Arnobius Wrote In The Fourth Century: "Evil Ought Not Be Repaid With Evil. . . . It Is Better To Suffer Wrong Than Inflict It. . . . We Should Rather Shed Our Own Blood Than Stain Our Hands And Our Conscience With The Blood Of Another" (Sider, 101).

(Sider, 110) He Goes On To Say That When We Kill, Even Legally Execute, "the Bloodshed Stains The Conscience.
