So he sent his brothers away, and they departed; and he said to them, See that you do not become perturbed along the way.

Now if Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear; for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,

Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently out of a pure heart,

And I fell at his feet to do homage to him. But he said to me, Look out! No! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Do homage to God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

And he said to me, Now see here! No! For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the Words of this Book. Worship God.

If you encounter your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall bring it back to restore it to him.

If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden, you shall refrain from leaving it to him; you shall help him set it free.

You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am Jehovah.

As the proverb of the ancients says, Wickedness proceeds from the wicked. But my hand shall not be against you.

if I have repaid evil to one who was at peace with me, or if I have plundered my enemy without cause;

Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

Do not say, I will recompense evil; wait on Jehovah, and He will save you.

Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;

Do not say, I will do to him as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his deeds.

If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;

But I tell you, Do not resist evil. But whoever hits you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who abuse you and persecute you,

that you may become sons of your Father in Heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.

Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.

Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Now therefore, it is already an utter failure with you that you go to court against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather be defrauded?

Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth;

who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but gave Himself over to Him who judges righteously;

not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, in order that you may inherit blessing.

that you would walk worthily of God who calls you into His kingdom and glory.

Justice, only justice shall you follow, that you may live and inherit the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you.

And those who render evil for good oppose me, because I follow what is good.

Therefore let us pursue the things of peace and the things that build up one another.

Pursue love, and be zealous over spiritual matters, but rather that you may prophesy.

But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord;

Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.

And who is he who will harm you if you become imitators of what is good?

Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.

Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.

If it is possible, as for yourself, be at peace with all men.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Besides, a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,

to speak evil of no one, not being a brawler, but fair, showing all meekness to all men.

Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
