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)
