'Paying' in the Bible

They kept hitting Him on the head with a reed and spitting on Him. Getting down on their knees, they were paying Him homage.

Now the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will depart from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,

not paying back evil for evil or insult for insult but, on the contrary, giving a blessing, since you were called for this, so that you can inherit a blessing.
