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.

  1. Romans 12:19 Greek give place

35 (A)Vengeance is mine, and recompense,[a]
    (B)for the time when their foot shall slip;
for (C)the day of their calamity is at hand,
    and their doom comes swiftly.’
36 For (D)the Lord will vindicate[b] his people
    (E)and have compassion on his servants,
when he sees that their power is gone
    and there is none remaining, (F)bond or free.
37 Then he will say, (G)‘Where are their gods,
    (H)the rock in which they took refuge,
38 who ate the fat of their sacrifices
    and drank the wine of their drink offering?
Let them rise up and help you;
    let them be your protection!

39 “‘See now that (I)I, even I, am he,
    and there is no god beside me;
(J)I kill and I make alive;
    (K)I wound and I heal;
    and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
