¹⁴ Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not;

⁴⁴ but I -- I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting you,

²⁸ bless those cursing you, and pray for those accusing you falsely;

⁹ not giving back evil for evil, or railing for railing, and on the contrary, blessing, having known that to this ye were called, that a blessing ye may inherit;

¹⁵ see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all;

¹⁰ out of the same mouth doth come forth blessing and cursing; it doth not need, my brethren, these things so to happen;

²¹ for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his steps,

²² who did not commit sin, nor was guile found in his mouth,

²³ who being reviled -- was not reviling again, suffering -- was not threatening, and was committing himself to Him who is judging righteously,

¹² and labour, working with `our' own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer;

¹³ being spoken evil of, we entreat; as filth of the world we did become -- of all things an offscouring -- till now.

²¹ Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.

³⁴ And Jesus said, `Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;' and parting his garments they cast a lot.

²⁹ If I rejoice at the ruin of my hater, And stirred up myself when evil found him,

³⁰ Yea, I have not suffered my mouth to sin, To ask with an oath his life.
