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.
