Romans 12:16-21 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

16. Be of the same mind toward one another: not savoring what is exalted, but consenting in humility. Do not choose to seem wise to yourself.

17. Render to no one harm for harm. Provide good things, not only in the sight of God, but also in the sight of all men.

18. If it is possible, in so far as you are able, be at peace with all men.

19. Do not defend yourselves, dearest ones. Instead, step aside from wrath. For it is written: "Vengeance is mine. I shall give retribution, says the Lord."

20. So if an enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in doing so, you will heap burning coals upon his head.

21. Do not allow evil to prevail, instead prevail over evil by means of goodness.
