Romans 12:12-21

MLV(i) 12 rejoicing in the hope; enduring in your affliction; persevering in your prayer; 13 sharing in the needs of the holy-ones; pursuing your hospitality. 14 Speak well of those who are persecuting you; speak well and do not curse. 15 Ready to rejoice with the ones rejoicing and to weep with the ones weeping. 16 Being mindful of the same things toward one another and not being mindful of the exalted things, but involve yourself with the humble. Do not become too prudent with yourselves. 17 Repay to no one evil in exchange-for evil. Plan-for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If possible, what is from you should be at peace with all men.
19 Beloved, do not be avenging yourselves, but give a chance for the wrath of God; for it has been written, ‘Vengeance is for me. I will be repaying, says the Lord.’ 20 Therefore, if your enemy hungers, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for while doing this, you will be piling up hot-coals of fire upon his head. 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
