17 A ninguém pagueis o mal com o mal; buscai fazer o que é certo diante de todos.

18 No que for possível de vossa parte, tende paz com todos.

19 Não vos vingueis por vós mesmos, amados. Em vez disso, dai lugar à ira [divina] ,porque está escrito: A mim pertence a vingança, eu retribuirei, diz o Senhor.

20 Portanto, se o teu inimigo tiver fome, dá-lhe de comer; se tiver sede, dá-lhe de beber. Pois, quando fizeres isto, estarás amontoando brasas de fogo sobre a cabeça dele.

21 Não sejas vencido pelo mal, mas vence o mal com o bem.
