(17) Recompense to no man
evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
(18)

(19) Dearly beloved,
avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written,
Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
(21) Be not overcome of evil, but
overcome evil with good.

the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
