← Romans 12:18	Romans 12:19 (KJV)	Romans 12:20 →
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.	Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.	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.
