Romans 12:14-21
Legacy Standard Bible

14 (A)Bless those who persecute [a]you; bless, and do not curse. 15 (B)Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep, 16 by (C)being of the same mind toward one another, (D)not being haughty in mind, but [b]associating with the humble. (E)Do not be wise in your own mind. 17 (F)Never paying back evil for evil to anyone, [c](G)respecting what is good in the sight of all men, 18 if possible, (H)so far as it depends on you, (I)being at peace with all men, 19 (J)never taking your own revenge, beloved—instead [d]leave room for the wrath of God. For it is written, “(K)Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 “(L)But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

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.
