²⁰ They also that render evil for good Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.

¹² They reward me evil for good, `To' the bereaving of my soul.

¹² not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

¹⁴ If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed `are ye'; because the `Spirit' of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you.

¹⁵ For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men's matters:

¹⁶ but if `a man suffer' as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name.

¹⁷ For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.

¹⁸ Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

¹³ And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good?

³² Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

¹⁰ Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

²⁰ Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before thee to speak good for them, to turn away thy wrath from them.

³ They have compassed me about also with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.

⁴ For my love they are my adversaries: But I `give myself unto' prayer.

⁵ And they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love.

⁴ If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary;)

²¹ Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good.

¹⁶ they were a wall unto us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

¹² Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver up to me and my men into the hand of Saul? And Jehovah said, They will deliver thee up.

⁵ And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and slew them with a great slaughter. So David save the inhabitants of Keilah.

⁴ And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:

⁵ for he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and Jehovah wrought a great victory for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice; wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?

⁶ And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As Jehovah liveth, he shall not be put to death.
