Bless them that curse you, and pray for them who despitefully use you.

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 labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure it:

See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

For even to this were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps:

Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but on the contrary blessing; knowing that you are unto this called, that you should inherit a blessing.
