Romans 12:9-21 - Living In Love

⁹ Let love be genuine. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. ¹⁰ Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; outdo one another in showing honor. ¹¹ Never be lacking in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. ¹² Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be faithful in prayer. ¹³ Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality. ¹⁴ Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. ¹⁵ Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. ¹⁶ Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited. ¹⁷ Repay no one evil for evil, but have regard for what is noble in the sight of all. ¹⁸ If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. ¹⁹ Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," says the Lord. ²⁰ No, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head."

²¹ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
