19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of 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。
