Exodus 23:4–5

¹THOU shalt not see thy brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.

²And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.

³In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.

⁴¶ Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.

¹¶ Thou ^*shalt not see thy brothers oxe, or his sheepe go astray, and hide thy selfe from them: thou shalt in any case bring them againe vnto thy brother.

²And if thy brother be not nigh vnto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it vnto thine owne house, and it shall be with thee, vntil thy brother seeke after it, and thou shalt restore it to him againe.

³In like maner shalt thou do with his asse, and so shalt thou doe with his raiment: and with all lost thing of thy brothers which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thy selfe.

⁴¶ Thou shalt not see thy brothers asse or his oxe fall downe by the way, and hide thy selfe from them: thou shalt surely helpe him to lift them vp againe.

¹⁵See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

¹⁵See that none render euill for euill vnto any man: but euer follow that which is good, both among your selues and to all men.

⁴⁴But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

⁴⁴But I say vnto you, ^*Loue your enemies, blesse them that curse you, doe good to them that hate you, and ^*pray for them which despitefully vse you, and persecute you:

¹⁷Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

¹⁸If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

¹⁹Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

²⁰Therefore 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.

²¹Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

¹⁷Recompence to no man euill for euill. Prouide things honest in the sight of all men.

¹⁸If it be possible, as much as lyeth in you, liue peaceably with all men.

¹⁹Dearely beloued, auenge not your selues, but rather giue place vnto wrath: for it is written, ^*Uengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.

^20*Therefore if thine enemie hunger, feed him: if he thirst, giue him drink. For in so doing thou shalt heape coales of fire on his head.

²¹Be not ouercome of euill, but ouercome euill with good.

²⁷¶ But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,

²⁸Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

²⁷¶ ^*But I say vnto you which heare, Loue your enemies, doe good to them which hate you,

²⁸Blesse them that curse you, & pray for them which despitefully vse you.

²¹If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

^21*If thine enemie be hungry, giue him bread to eate: and if hee be thirstie, giue him water to drinke.

²⁹If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:

³⁰Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.

²⁹If I reioyced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lift vp my selfe when euill found him:

³⁰(Neither haue I suffered ^†my mouth to sinne by wishing a curse to his soule.)

¹⁷Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

¹⁸Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

^17*Reioyce not when thine enemie falleth: and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

^18†Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and hee turne away his wrath from him.

⁴¶ Thou shalt not see thy brothers asse or his oxe fall downe by the way, and hide thy selfe from them: thou shalt surely helpe him to lift them vp againe.
