Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.\n \n10\u00a0Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;\n \n11\u00a0Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;\n \n12\u00a0Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;\n \n13\u00a0Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.\n \n14\u00a0Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.\n \n15\u00a0Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.\n \n16\u00a0Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.\n \n17\u00a0Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.\n \n18\u00a0If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.\n \n19\u00a0Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.\n \n20\u00a0Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.\n \n21\u00a0Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.","title":"King James Version: Romans: Romans Chapter 12","type":"page"}
