Romans 12:16-21

16 1Be of the same mind toward one another; 2do not be 3haughty in mind, but 4associate with the lowly. 5Do not be wise in your own estimation.

17 6Never repay evil for evil to anyone. 7 8Respect what is right in the sight of all people.

18If possible, 9so far as it depends on you, 10be at peace with all people.

19 11Never take your own revenge, beloved, but 12leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written: “13Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

20“14But 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.”

21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
