Thematic Bible
Social duties » Of home-keeping » Of returning good for evil, encouraged
If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying helpless under its load, you shall not leave the man to deal with it [alone]; you must help him release the animal [from its burden].
If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat;
And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek that which is good for one another and for all people.
But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on his head.”
