If it be possible (as much as is in you) live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not your selvest, but rather give place unto wrath.1 For it is written: Vengeance is mine, & I will reward, saith the Lord. Therefore, if thine enemy hum ger, feed him: if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with goodness.
