17:Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18:If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19:Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. 20:On the contrary:
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." 21:Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
