Romans 12:17 Context
15Reioyce with them that doe reioice, and weepe with them that weepe. 16Be of the same mind one towards another. Minde not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Bee not wise in your owne conceits. 17Recompence to no man euill for euill. Prouide things honest in the sight of all men. 18If it be possible, as much as lyeth in you, liue peaceably with all men. 19Dearely beloued, auenge not your selues, but rather giue place vnto wrath: for it is written, Uengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.
