Romans 12:14-21

Conduct Toward Outsiders and Enemies

Romans 12:14-21
14
Bless those who persecute you — bless them, don’t curse them!
15
Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
16
Be sensitive to each other’s needs — don’t think yourselves better than others, but make humble people your friends. Don’t be conceited.
17
Repay no one evil for evil, but try to do what everyone regards as good.
18
If possible, and to the extent that it depends on you, live in peace with all people.
19
Never seek revenge, my friends; instead, leave that to God’s anger; for in the Tanakh it is written, “Adonai says, ‘Vengeance is my responsibility; I will repay.’”
20
On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. For by doing this, you will heap fiery coals [of shame] on his head.”
21
Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.
