Romans 12:14-21
New King James Version
14 (A)Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 (B)Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 (C)Be of the same mind toward one another. (D)Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
17 (E)Repay no one evil for evil. (F)Have[a] regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, (G)live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, (H)do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, (I)“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore
(J)“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but (K)overcome evil with good.

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.(A) 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another; do not be arrogant, but associate with the lowly;[a] do not claim to be wiser than you are.(B) 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.(C) 18 If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.(D) 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God,[b] for it is written, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”(E) 20 Instead, “if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink, for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
