ROM C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C10 C11 C12 C13 C14 C15 C16
15 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those who are not strong, and not to please ourselves.
2 Let each of us please our neighbor for their good, for the purpose of building them up. 3 For even Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell upon me.”[fn]
4 For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
5 Now may the God of perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, 6 so that with one accord and with one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted you, for the glory of God.
8 For I say that Christ [[Jesus]][fn] has become a servant of the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God, to confirm the promises given to the fathers, 9 and for the Gentiles to glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, “For this reason I will praise you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.”[fn]
10 And again it says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”[fn]
11 And again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and {let all the peoples praise him}.”[fn][fn]
12 And again Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse and the one rising up to rule nations, on him nations will hope.”[fn]
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 Now I am convinced, [my][fn] brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all [the][fn] knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
15 But I have written to you more boldly [[brothers]][fn] on some points, as a reminder to you, because of the grace given to me by God 16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 Therefore, I have my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God. 18 For I will not dare to speak of anything that Christ has not accomplished through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed, 19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the {Spirit of God};[fn] so that from Jerusalem and all around as far as Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
20 And thus I aspired to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build on another's foundation, 21 but as it is written, “They who had no news of him shall see, and they who have not heard shall understand.”[fn]
22 For this reason I have often been hindered from coming to you; 23 but now, having no further place in these regions, and since I have had a longing to come to you for many years, 24 {As I may go to Spain};[fn] for I hope, passing through, to see you and to be sent on my way there by you, if first I may be somewhat filled by you.
25 But now I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints. 26 For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. 27 Yes, they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things.
28 Therefore, when I have finished this, and have put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I will go on by way of you to Spain. 29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing [[of the gospel]][fn] of Christ.
30 I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf, 31 that I may be delivered from the disobedient in Judea, and that my ministry for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, 32 so that, coming to you with joy by the will of God, I may find rest with you.
33 Now may the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
