19 Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord.

20 But if one who has hate for you is in need of food or of drink, give it to him, for in so doing you will put coals of fire on his head.

21 Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good.

19 not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance {belongs} to me, *I* will recompense, saith the Lord.

20 If therefore thine enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him drink; for, so doing, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.

21 Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
