 \v 19 My fellow believers, whom I love, do not do evil deeds in return when people do evil deeds to you. Instead, allow God to punish them. The scriptures say, "'I will pay back those who do evil deeds. It is my right to pay them back,' says the Lord."
 \v 20 Instead of doing evil deeds to those who have done evil deeds to you, do as the scriptures teach: "If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. By doing that, you will cause them to feel the pain of shame and perhaps they will change their attitude toward you."
-\v 21 Do not let evil deeds that others have done to you overcome you. Instead, do for them better than what they have done to you.
