Berean Standard Bible
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
This is the closing line of Romans 12. Paul has just told believers never to avenge themselves, to leave room for God's justice, and even to feed a hungry enemy, quoting Proverbs about heaping burning coals on an enemy's head, an image many understand as bringing them to shame and repentance.
