⁴ "If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.

¹ You shall not see your brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide yourself from them: you shall surely bring them again to your brother.

² If your brother isn't near to you, or if you don't know him, then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall be with you until your brother seek after it, and you shall restore it to him.

³ So shall you do with his donkey; and so shall you do with his garment; and so shall you do with every lost thing of your brother's, which he has lost, and you have found: you may not hide yourself.

⁴ You shall not see your brother's donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide yourself from them: you shall surely help him to lift them up again.

²¹ If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; If he is thirsty, give him water to drink:

⁴⁴ 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,

¹⁵ See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good, for one another, and for all.

²⁹ "If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me, Or lifted up myself when evil found him;

³⁰ (Yes, I have not allowed my mouth to sin By asking his life with a curse);

¹⁷ Don't rejoice when your enemy falls. Don't let your heart be glad when he is overthrown;

¹⁸ Lest Yahweh see it, and it displease him, And he turn away his wrath from him.

²⁷ "But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

²⁸ bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.

¹⁷ Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.

¹⁸ If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.

¹⁹ Don't seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord."

²⁰ 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."

²¹ Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
