14 ^eBless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.

17 ^jRepay no one evil for evil, but ^kgive thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, ^llive peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, ^mnever avenge yourselves, but leave it¹ to the wrath of God, for it is written, ⁿ“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
