Romans 12:14

Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse.

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

bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult, but instead bless others because you were called to inherit a blessing.

See that no one pays back evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.

If I have rejoiced over the misfortune of my enemy or exulted because calamity found him --

[But Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing."] Then they threw dice to divide his clothes.

Then he fell to his knees and cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them!" When he had said this, he died.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

We do hard work, toiling with our own hands. When we are verbally abused, we respond with a blessing, when persecuted, we endure,

From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. These things should not be so, my brothers and sisters.

For to this you were called, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving an example for you to follow in his steps.
