19 Nekeršykite patys, mylimieji, bet palikite tai rūstybei, nes parašyta: "Mano kerštas, Aš atmokėsiu",sako Viešpats.

20 Todėl, jei tavo priešininkas alkanas, pavalgydink jį, jei trokšta, pagirdyk jį. Taip darydamas, tu sukrausi žarijas ant jo galvos.

21 Nesiduok pikto nugalimas, bet nugalėk pikta gerumu.

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.
