Romans 12:9–21

⁹Let love be unfeigned; abhorring evil; cleaving to good: ¹⁰as to brotherly love, kindly affectioned towards one another: as to honour, each taking the lead in paying it to the other: ¹¹as to diligent zealousness, not slothful; in spirit fervent; serving the Lord. ¹²As regards hope, rejoicing: as regards tribulation, enduring: as regards prayer, persevering: ¹³distributing to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality. ¹⁴Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not. ¹⁵Rejoice with those that rejoice, weep with those that weep. ¹⁶Have the same respect one for another, not minding high things, but going along with the lowly: be not wise in your own eyes: ¹⁷recompensing to no one evil for evil: providing things honest before all men: ¹⁸if possible, as far as depends on you, living in peace with all men; ¹⁹not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance belongs to me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. ²⁰If therefore thine enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him drink; for, so doing, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. ²¹Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
