Romans 12:17-21
English Standard Version
17 (A)Repay no one evil for evil, but (B)give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, (C)live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, (D)never avenge yourselves, but leave it[a] to the wrath of God, for it is written, (E)“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, (F)“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.

Galatians 6:12-16
English Standard Version
12 (A)It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh (B)who would force you to be circumcised, and only (C)in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. 14 But far be it from me to boast (D)except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which[a] the world (E)has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For (F)neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but (G)a new creation. 16 And as for all who walk by this rule, (H)peace and mercy be upon them, and upon (I)the Israel of God.
