Romans 12:14

Bless those who persecute you. Keep on blessing them, and never curse them.

But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,

Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who insult you.

Do not pay others back evil for evil or insult for insult. Instead, keep blessing them, because you were called to inherit a blessing.

Make sure that no one pays back evil for evil. Instead, always pursue what is good for each other and for everyone else.

"Have I rejoiced in the destruction of those who hate me, or have I been happy that evil caught up with him?

Jesus kept saying, "Father, forgive them, because they don't know what they're doing." Then they divided his clothes among them by throwing dice.

Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, don't hold this sin against them!" After he had said this, he died.

Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.

We wear ourselves out from working with our own hands. When insulted, we bless. When persecuted, we endure.

From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. It should not be like this, my brothers!

This is, in fact, what you were called to do, because: The Messiah also suffered for you and left an example for you to follow in his steps.
