Romans 12:9-21

9Let love be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good.

10Love one another deeply as brothers and sisters. Take the lead in honoring one another.

11Do not lack diligence in zeal; be fervent in the Spirit; serve the Lord.

12Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer.

13Share with the saints in their needs; pursue hospitality.

14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

15Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.

16Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud; instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

17Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Give careful thought to do what is honorable in everyone’s eyes.

18If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

19Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for God’s wrath, because it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.

20But If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink. For in so doing you will be heaping fiery coals on his head.

21Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.
