“If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey wandering away, you shall surely return it to him.

You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord.

As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness’; but my hand shall not be against you.

If I have rewarded evil to my friend,
Or have plundered him who without cause was my adversary,

He who returns evil for good,

Evil will not depart from his house.

Do not say, “I will repay evil”;

Wait for the Lord, and He will save you.

Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,

And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;

If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;

And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;

But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.

Never pay back evil for evil to anyone.

Respect what is right in the sight of all men.

Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

who

committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth;

not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.

Ever

so that you would walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

Justice, and only justice, you shall pursue, that you may live and possess the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

And those who repay evil for good,
They oppose me, because I follow what is good.

So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.

Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness.

Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.

“He must turn away from evil and do good;
He must seek peace and pursue it.

Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.

And

Never pay back evil for evil to anyone.

Respect what is right in the sight of all men.

So then,

while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged,

to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men.

Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.
