See that none recompense evil for evil to any man. Though you suffer many things at the hands of the wicked, yet you may not be followers of that evil, which is in them. Avenge not your selves, but give place unto 1wrath: for it is written, vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore, if thine enemy hunger, feed him: if he thirst, give him drink. Herein shall it appear if we love our neighbour as our self: if we patiently abide injuries and seek to do good unto them that grieve and oppress us. I say unto you, saith Christ, love your enemies: bless them 2that curse you, do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that hurt you, and persecute you. That you may be the children of your father that is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to arise upon the evil, and the good, and sendeth rain on the just, and unjust.
