Romans 12 19Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"[1] says the Lord. 20On the contrary:    "If your enemy is hungry, feed him;        if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.    In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." " It doesn't sound kind to us but in those days it was a kind thing to do to keep them warm. " Is this your interpretation? I do not agree that it is refering to keeping your enemy warm, or giving him a warm feeling inside.  Nobody heaps burning coals on his own head to keep warm.  They would burn his face.
