The book of Esther illustrates this principle which Paul laid out plainly.
Haman was a hater. He hated Jews and specifically Mordecai. He convinced the king that all the Jews would be killed on a certain day. He also built a gallows in which he was going to hang Mordecai. However, unknown to him God was a long ways ahead of him and his hatred earned him a hanging on his own gallows.
Hatred earns hatred and death for Jesus told us the following.
| Galatians 6: 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. |
