12 ^zRejoice in hope, ^abe patient in tribulation, ^bbe constant in prayer.

19 Beloved, ^mnever avenge yourselves, but leave it¹ to the wrath of God, for it is written, ⁿ“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, ^o“if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
