Epistle
Rom 12.4-5, 15-21
Read in contextBrethren,
4For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
5So we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
15Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16[Be] of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20Therefore 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.
21Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
