Romans 12:17-19 Render no man evil for evil. mind such things as are approved not only by God, but by men.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Render no man evil for evil. mind such things as are approved not only by God, but by men. ¹⁸ do all you can to live peaceably, if it be possible, with all mankind. ¹⁹ dear brethren, avenge not yourselves, but leave that to the resentment of another: for it is written, "vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."
