Romans 12:17 in Context — Romans 12

15 Gozaos con los que se gozan: llorad con los que lloran.

16 Unánimes entre vosotros: no altivos, mas acomodándoos á los humildes. No seáis sabios en vuestra opinión.

17 No paguéis á nadie mal por mal; procurad lo bueno delante de todos los hombres.

18 Si se puede hacer, cuanto está en vosotros, tened paz con todos los hombres.

19 No os venguéis vosotros mismos, amados míos; antes dad lugar á la ira; porque escrito está: Mía es la venganza: yo pagaré, dice el Señor.
