Thematic Bible
Social duties » Of home-keeping » Of returning good for evil, encouraged
If you see the donkey of him who hates you fallen down under his burden, don't leave him, you shall surely help him with it.
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink:
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good, for one another, and for all.
Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head."
But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,
