Do Not Repay Evil

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. ~ Romans 12:17 (NIV)

As Far as the East is from the West...

9 He will not always accuse,

nor will He harbor His anger forever;

10 He does not treat us as our sins deserve

or repay us according to our iniquities.

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear Him;

12 as far as the east is from the west,

so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

~ Psalm 103:9-12 (NIV)

Overcome Evil with Good

“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
~ Romans 12:17-21 (NIV)
