Romans 12:14-21
New International Version

14 Bless those who persecute you;(A) bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.(B) 16 Live in harmony with one another.(C) Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.[a] Do not be conceited.(D)

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil.(E) Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.(F) 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.(G) 19 Do not take revenge,(H) my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[b](I) says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:

“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
    if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”[c](J)

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

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.
