# Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good
Paul describes "evil" as though it were a person. You can translate this in an active form. Alternate translation: "Do not let those who are evil defeat you, but defeat those who are evil by doing what is good" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
# Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil
These verbs are addressed as to one person and so are singular. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])
