For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies. 45But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me! 46Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
