English Standard Version

¹⁴^(A)Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. ¹⁵^(B)Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. ¹⁶^(C)Live in harmony with one another. ^(D)Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.^[a] ^(E)Never be wise in your own sight. ¹⁷^(F)Repay no one evil for evil, but ^(G)give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. ¹⁸If possible, so far as it depends on you, ^(H)live peaceably with all. ¹⁹Beloved, ^(I)never avenge yourselves, but leave it^[b] to the wrath of God, for it is written, ^(J)“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” ²⁰To the contrary, ^(K)“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.” ²¹Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
