18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.(A) 19 Do not take revenge,(B) my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[a](C) says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”[b](D)
