Romans 12:14

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, Or lifted up myself when evil found him;

but I say unto you, love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;

bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you.

And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots.

And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;

See that none render unto any one evil for evil; but always follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all.

out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:

not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessing; for hereunto were ye called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
