SRB26
Därför, om din ovän hungrar, så ge honom att äta. Om han törstar, så ge honom att dricka. För när du gör det, så samlar du glödande kol på hans huvud.
SKB
Men om din fiende är hungrig, ge honom att äta, om han är törstig, ge honom att dricka. Då samlar du glödande kol på hans huvud. [Vad menas med att ”samla glödande kol på någons huvud”? Är det att skapa en brännande smärta på din fiendes huvud? Utifrån sammanhanget måste det leda till något positivt eftersom nästa vers talar om att besegra det onda med det goda. Paulus var väl förankrad i Gamla testamentet och citerar här Ords 25:21-22 där detta ordspråk ingår i ett stycke med flera ordspråk där något fysiskt beskriver något emotionellt. Att ta av sig sina ytterkläder en kall dag illustrerar hur opassande det är att sjunga glada sånger till någon som har sorg, se Ords 25:20. Skvaller jämförs med nordanvinden i Ords 25:23. På samma sätt talar de glödande kolen om det känslomässiga obehag din fiende känner när hans samvete väcks till liv när du behandlar honom väl. De goda gärningarna bränner i hans samvete över den orätt han gjort dig och leder förhoppningsvis till att han ångrar sig och återupprättas.]
