Do not let evil get the better of you; get the better of evil by doing good.
never paying back evil for evil, never reviling when you are reviled, but on the contrary blessing. For this is your vocation, to bless and to inherit blessing;
if your enemy is hungry, feed him, if he is thirsty, give him drink; for in this way you will make him feel a burning sense of shame.
Every subject must obey the government-authorities, for no authority exists apart from God; the existing authorities have been constituted by God.
