1 Thessalonians 5:15

Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.

Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
