He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit is better than he who takes a city.
Therefore if your enemy hungers, feed him. If he thirsts, give him drink. For in so doing you shall heap coals of fire on his head.
Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority but of God; the authorities that exist are ordained by God.
Never give back evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, giving blessing, knowing that you are called to this so that you might inherit blessing.
