Romans 12:14-21
141BlessG2127 thoseG3588 who persecuteG1377 2you; blessG2127 and do not curseG2672.
153RejoiceG5463 with those who rejoiceG5463, and weepG2799 with those who weepG2799.
164Be of the sameG846 mindG5426 towardG1519 oneG240 anotherG240; 5do not be 6haughtyG5308 inG5426 mindG5426, but 7associateG4879 with the lowlyG5011. 8Do not be wiseG5429 in your ownG1438 estimationG1438.
179NeverG3367 repayG591 evilG2556 for evilG2556 to anyoneG3367. 1011RespectG4306 whatG2570 isG2570 rightG2570 inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 allG3956 peopleG444.
18IfG1487 possibleG1415, 12soG3588 farG3588 asG3588 it dependsG1537 on you, 13beG1514 atG1514 peaceG1514 with allG3956 peopleG444.
1914NeverG3361 takeG1556 your ownG1438 revengeG1556, belovedG27, but 15leaveG1325 roomG5117 for the wrathG3709 of God, for it is writtenG1125: “16VengeanceG1557 is MineG1699, I will repayG467,” saysG3004 the LordG2962.
20“17But ifG1437 your enemyG2190 is hungryG3983, feedG5595 him; ifG1437 he is thirstyG1372, giveG4222 him aG4222 drinkG4222; for in soG3778 doingG4160 you will heapG4987 burningG4442 coalsG440 on his headG2776.”
21Do not be overcomeG3528 by evilG2556, but overcomeG3528 evilG2556 with goodG18.
