Romans 12:10-21
10Be 1devoted to one another in brotherly love; 2give preference to one another 3in honor; 11not lagging behind in diligence, 4fervent in spirit, 5serving the Lord; 126rejoicing in hope, 7persevering in tribulation, 8devoted to prayer, 139contributing to the needs of the 10saints, 1112practicing hospitality.
1413Bless those who persecute 14you; bless and do not curse. 1515Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 1616Be of the same mind toward one another; 17do not be haughty in mind, but 18associate with the lowly. 19Do not be wise in your own estimation. 1720Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. 2122Respect what is right in the sight of all men. 18If possible, 23so far as it depends on you, 24be at peace with all men. 1925Never take your own revenge, beloved, but 26leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “27Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20“28But 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.” 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
