No. That is not the way to read any book; and that is stripping a specific text from its context to prove a point; i.e "Cherry Picking".

How do you reconcile that with "but do not transgress"?
Say a warrior shot at you and began the aggression, you shoot him back; thus slaying him.
But you stop right there and don't transgress by butchering their family or bombing his/her country civilians.
