Romans 12:19 in Context — Romans 12

17 Ne rendez à personne le mal pour le mal. Recherchez ce qui est bien devant tous les hommes.

18 S’il est possible, autant que cela dépende de vous, soyez en paix avec tous les hommes.

19 Ne vous vengez point vous-mêmes, bien-aimés, mais laissez agir la colère; car il est écrit: A moi la vengeance, à moi la rétribution, dit le Seigneur.

20 Mais si ton ennemi a faim, donne-lui à manger; s’il a soif, donne-lui à boire; car en agissant ainsi, ce sont des charbons ardents que tu amasseras sur sa tête.

21 Ne te laisse pas vaincre par le mal, mais surmonte le mal par le bien.
