The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back, but the righteous give generously. | The wicked borrows and does not repay, But the righteous shows mercy and gives. |
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds. | For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. |
Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work. | Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy; For You render to each one according to his work. |
See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good for one another and for all. | See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all. |
