English Standard Version
19 Beloved, (A)never avenge yourselves, but leave it[a] to the wrath of God, for it is written, (B)“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, (C)“if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

19 Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for His[a] wrath. For it is written: Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay,(A)[b] says the Lord. 20 But
If your enemy is hungry, feed him.(B)
If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
For in so doing
you will be heaping fiery coals on his head.(C)[c]
21 Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.
