¹⁷ giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.

²² Do not say, `I recompense evil,' Wait for Jehovah, and He delivereth thee.

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;

²⁰ avoiding this, lest any one may blame us in this abundance that is ministered by us,

²¹ providing right things, not only before the Lord, but also before men;

³⁹ but I -- I say to you, not to resist the evil, but whoever shall slap thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other;

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;

⁸ As to the rest, brethren, as many things as are true, as many as `are' grave, as many as `are' righteous, as many as `are' pure, as many as `are' lovely, as many as `are' of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, these things think upon;

⁹ the things that also ye did learn, and receive, and hear, and saw in me, those do, and the God of the peace shall be with you.

¹⁶ having a good conscience, that in that in which they speak against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who are traducing your good behaviour in Christ;

¹² having your behaviour among the nations right, that in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, of the good works having beheld, they may glorify God in a day of inspection.

²² from all appearance of evil abstain ye;

⁵ in wisdom walk ye toward those without, the time forestalling;

¹⁶ Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of,

¹⁹ not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, `Vengeance `is' Mine,

⁴ that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be lovers of `their' husbands, lovers of `their' children,

⁵ sober, pure, keepers of `their own' houses, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

¹⁴ I wish, therefore, younger ones to marry, to bear children, to be mistress of the house, to give no occasion to the opposer to reviling;

⁴ The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,

⁵ doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,
