Romans 12:17-19
Worldwide English (New Testament)
17 When people do wrong things to you, do not do wrong things to them also. But try to do good things for all people.
18 As much as you can, live in peace with everyone.
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.'
