Romans 12:14-21
New American Standard Bible

14 (A)Bless those who persecute [a]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 be [b]haughty in mind, but [c]associate with the lowly. (E)Do not be wise in your own estimation. 17 (F)Never repay evil for evil to anyone. [d](G)Respect what is right in the sight of all people. 18 If possible, (H)so far as it depends on you, (I)be at peace with all people. 19 (J)Never take your own revenge, beloved, but [e]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; 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
American Standard Version

14 Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Set not your mind on high things, but [a]condescend to [b]things that are lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men. 19 Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto [c]the wrath of God: for it is written, [d]Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord. 20 But [e]if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
