Didn’t Jesus say something about “heaping coals of kindness on those who hate you”....or something like that.

Paul in the Epistle to the Romans quoted Proverbs:

Romans 12:20 (NIV)

On 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."



Proverbs 25:21-22 (NIV)

If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.
