14 (A)Bless those who persecute [a]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 be [b]haughty in mind, but [c]associate with the lowly. (E)Do not be wise in your own estimation. 17 (F)Never repay evil for evil to anyone. [d](G)Respect what is right in the sight of all people. 18 If possible, (H)so far as it depends on you, (I)be at peace with all people. 19 (J)Never take your own revenge, beloved, but [e]leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written: “(K)Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
