God's Word Translation

Romans 12:16-21 God's Word Translation (GW)

16. Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be arrogant, but be friendly to humble people. Don’t think that you are smarter than you really are.

17. Don’t pay people back with evil for the evil they do to you. Focus your thoughts on those things that are considered noble.

18. As much as it is possible, live in peace with everyone.

19. Don’t take revenge, dear friends. Instead, let God’s anger take care of it. After all, Scripture says, “I alone have the right to take revenge. I will pay back, says the Lord.”

20. But,“If your enemy is hungry, feed him.If he is thirsty, give him a drink.If you do this, you will make him feel guilty and ashamed.”

21. Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil with good.
