Romans 12:9-21
9Let love be
genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; 10love one
another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. 11Do
not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. 12Rejoice in
hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. 13Contribute to
the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.
14Bless those
who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15Rejoice with those
who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16Live in harmony with one
another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be
wiser than you are. 17Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take
thought for what is noble in the sight of all. 18If it is possible,
so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19Beloved,
never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God; for it is
written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20No, “if
your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to
drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.” 21Do
not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
