Romans 12:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹My dear friends, don’t try to get even. Leave room for God to show his anger. It is written, “I am the God who judges people. I will pay them back,” (Deuteronomy 32:35) says the Lord. ²⁰Do just the opposite. Scripture says,

“If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat.
If they are thirsty, give them something to drink.
By doing those things, you will pile up burning coals on their heads.” (Proverbs 25:21,22)

²¹Don’t let evil overcome you. Overcome evil by doing good.
