12:17 Do
not repay anyone evil for evil; consider what is
good before all people.
18 If possible, so far as it depends
on you,
live peaceably with all people.
19 Do
not avenge yourselves,
dear friends,
but give place to God’s
wrath,
for it is
written, “
Vengeance is mine, I will repay,”
says the
Lord.
20 Rather,
if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will be heaping burning coals on his head.
21 Do
not be
overcome by evil,
but overcome evil with good.
