Hello, I have a scene in my story in which the protagonist is set to fight another character to the death. I have a 3rd character yell out scripture to the protagonist, which makes the hero not want to kill his foe. What scripture should I use? I am fine with either the Hebrew Scripture, aka, The Old Testament, or The New Testament. I have the "turning the other cheek" and the "love your enemy" verses, but I was hoping for more. Something that would make a fighter show mercy to an enemy. Thank you so much for your time and attention to this matter. God Bless.
I would Google "biblical references to mercy" and then read through each one. Whichever one would make you stop is the one.
