19 亲爱的啊， 不要为自己伸冤， 宁可等候主的忿怒， 因为经上记着， 主说： "伸冤在我， 我必报应。"

20 相反地， "如果你的仇敌饿了， 就给他吃； 如果渴了， 就给他喝。因为你这样作， 就是把炭火堆在他的头上。"

21 不可被恶所胜， 反要以善胜恶。

19 Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord." 20 Therefore

"If your enemy is hungry, feed him.

If he is thirsty, give him a drink;

for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head."

21 Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
