Romans 12:18-21
New International Version
18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.(A) 19 Do not take revenge,(B) my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[a](C) 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.”[b](D)
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
