15 We who are powerful should be carrying the weaknesses of the powerless, rather than just trying to please ourselves. 2 Each one of us should be pleasing those near us—displaying goodness and building them up, 3 because even the messiah didn’t please himself, but, as it was written: ‘Those who were insulting you, their insults landed on me.’[ref] 4 Everything that was written in the past was written for teaching us, so that through endurance and through encouragement from the scriptures, we would have hope. 5 May the God of endurance and encouragement help you all to think likewise, just like Yeshua Messiah did, 6 so that you’ll be united in your purpose and your teaching, thus honouring the God and father of our master, Yeshua Messiah.
