Romans 12:14-21

Tree of Life Version

¹⁴ Bless those who persecute you—bless and do not curse. ¹⁵ Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep. ^{[a] 16} Live in harmony with one another; do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own eyes. ^{[b] 17} Repay no one evil for evil;^[c] give thought to what is good in the eyes of all people. ¹⁸ If possible, so far as it depends on you, live in shalom with all people. ¹⁹ Never take your own revenge, loved ones, but give room for God’s wrath—for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,”^[d] says Adonai. ²⁰ Rather, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For by doing so you will heap coals of fire upon his head.” ^{[e] 21} Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
