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.

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。
