Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto anger: for it is written, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore 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. Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:19-21.
