Romans 12:14-21
Lexham English Bible
14 Bless those who persecute,[a] bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep. 16 Think the same thing toward one another; do not think arrogantly[b], but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own sight[c]. 17 Pay back no one evil for evil. Take thought for what is good in the sight of all people. 18 If it is possible on your part, be at peace with all people. 19 Do not take revenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God’s wrath, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,”[d] says the Lord. 20 But “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by[e] doing this, you will heap up coals of fire upon his head.”[f] 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
