Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
All Commentaries on Romans 12:21 Go To Romans 12
John Chrysostom
AD 407
After giving the wronged person what he wants, Paul goes on to give him advice of a higher tone, telling him not to be overcome with evil. For he knew that even if the enemy was a brute he would not go on being an enemy once he was fed…. To overcome evil with good is true victory.
