દુષ્ટતાનો બદલો વાળવા દુષ્ટતા ન કરો અને નિંદાનો બદલો વાળવા નિંદા ન કરો, પણ તેથી ઊલટું આશીર્વાદ આપો; કેમ કે તેને સારુ તમને તેડવામાં આવ્યા છે કે જેથી તમે આશીર્વાદના વારસ થાઓ.
हिन्दी1 पतरस ३:९
बुराई के बदले बुराई मत करो और न गाली के बदले गाली दो; पर इसके विपरीत आशीष ही दो: क्योंकि तुम आशीष के वारिस होने के लिये बुलाए गए हो।
