Romans 12:9–21

⁹The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good; ¹⁰in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another; ¹¹in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving; ¹²in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering; ¹³to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing. ¹⁴Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not; ¹⁵to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping, ¹⁶of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit; ¹⁷giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men. ¹⁸If possible—so far as in you—with all men being in peace; ¹⁹not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, ‘Vengeance is Mine, ²⁰I will recompense again, saith the Lord;’ if, then, thine enemy doth hunger, feed him; if he doth thirst, give him drink; for this doing, coals of fire thou shalt heap upon his head; ²¹Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.
