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.
