5:23
`` And then give him that chickenhouse if he still demands it . ` Therefore , if thine enemy hunger , feed him ; if he thirst , give him drink : for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head ' -LRB- Romans 12:20 -RRB- . And to break the power of the grudge , why not obey Matt . 5:23 , 24 : ` Therefore , if thou bring thy gift to the altar , and there remember that thy brother hath ought against thee ; leave there thy gift before the altar , and go thy way ; first be reconciled to thy brother , and then come and offer thy gift . ' '' `` Well , Jake is not a brother , Mary , '' said Robert , `` but the Scriptures point out the best way to recover . I feel so ashamed , Mary , after standing up for a holy life and then failing this way . But I feel that following the Word of truth will be the quickest way to recovery .
