¹⁵to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping,

¹⁷giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.

¹⁸If possible — so far as in you — with all men being in peace;

¹⁹not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, 'Vengeance is Mine,
