Bible Verses About Enemies & Loving Enemies

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’

But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”

Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink;

for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and Yahweh will reward you.

“But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
