Romans 12:19-21

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁹ My dear brothers, do not punish people who do wrong to you. But let God's anger punish them. In the holy writings the Lord says, `I myself will punish people. If they have done wrong things, I will do wrong things to them also.'

²⁰ But, `If your enemy is hungry, give him food. If he is thirsty, give him a drink. When you do that, it will be as if you put a pile of coals from the fire on his head.'

²¹ Do not let wrong things win a victory over you. But win a victory over wrong things by the good things you do.
