Romans 12:11-21
11not lagging behind in diligence, 1fervent in spirit, 2serving the Lord; 123rejoicing in hope, 4persevering in tribulation, 5devoted to prayer, 136contributing to the needs of the 7saints, 89practicing hospitality.
1410Bless those who persecute 11you; bless and do not curse. 1512Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 1613Be of the same mind toward one another; 14do not be haughty in mind, but 15associate with the lowly. 16Do not be wise in your own estimation. 1717Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. 1819Respect what is right in the sight of all men. 18If possible, 20so far as it depends on you, 21be at peace with all men. 1922Never take your own revenge, beloved, but 23leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “24Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20“25But 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.
