⁹ not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessing; for hereunto were ye called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

¹⁷ Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men.

¹⁴ Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.

²² Say not thou, I will recompense evil: Wait for Jehovah, and he will save thee.

¹⁵ See that none render unto any one evil for evil; but always follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all.

¹⁹ Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath `of God': for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord.

²⁰ But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.

²¹ Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

³⁹ but I say unto you, resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

¹³ Whoso rewardeth evil for good, Evil shall not depart from his house.

⁴⁴ but I say unto you, love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;

³² and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.

²⁰ For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted `for it', ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer `for it', ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

²¹ For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:

²² who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

²³ who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered threatened not; but committed `himself' to him that judgeth righteously:

¹² and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;

¹³ being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now.

²⁷ But I say unto you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you,

²⁸ bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you.

²⁹ To him that smiteth thee on the `one' cheek offer also the other; and from him that taketh away thy cloak withhold not thy coat also.

³⁴ Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

²⁸ And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, `even' to them that are called according to `his' purpose.

¹⁰ And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, establish, strengthen you.

¹⁴ saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

³⁰ and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
