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. ¹⁸If possible, so far as it depends on you, ^(C)live peaceably with all. ¹⁹Beloved, ^(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.” ²⁰To 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.” ²¹Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

    and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
