OET ROM chapter 15

15 We who are powerful should be bearing the weaknesses of the powerless rather than just seeking to bring pleasure to ourselves. 2 Each one of us should be bringing pleasure to those near us—displaying goodness and building them up, 3 [ref]because even the messiah didn’t bring pleasure to himself, but, as it was written: ‘Those who were insulting you, their insults landed on me.’ 4 Because everything that was written in the past, was written for teaching us so that through endurance and through the 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 all be united in your purpose and your teaching, thus honouring the God and father of our master, Yeshua Messiah.

15 And ought we, the powerful, the weaknesses of _the powerless to _be _bearing, and not to _ourselves to _be _bringing _pleasure.
2 Each of _us to _the one near him _let _be _bringing _pleasure to the good for building.
3 For/Because also the chosen _one /messiah not to _himself brought _pleasure, but as it _has _been _written:
The derisions of _the ones deriding you, fell _on on me.
4 For/Because as _much _as was _previously _written, because/for the our teaching was _written, in _order _that through the endurance and through the exhortation of _the scriptures, the hope we _may _be _having.
5 And the god of_ the _endurance and the exhortation, might _give to _you _all the same to _be _thinking with one _another according _to Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), chosen _one /messiah 6 in _order _that with _one _accord, with one mouth, you _all _may _be _glorifying the god and father of _the master of _us, Yaʸsous chosen _one /messiah.

15:7 The good message for non-Jews

7 So then be accepting each other just as the messiah accepted all of you so that God will be honoured. 8 I can tell you that Messiah became a servant of the circumcised Jews so that God’s truth will be seen by its confirming of the promises that were made to our ancestors, 9 [ref]and also a servant for the non-Jews so that they’ll honour God for his mercy, as it was written:

‘Because of this I’ll be telling the pagans about you,

and I’ll be singing praises to your name.’

10 [ref]In a different place it’s written:

‘You non-Jews, be happy along with his people.’

11 [ref]And again:

‘Praise the master you non-Jews,

and let all the peoples of the world praise him.’

12 Also Isayah wrote:[ref]

‘There will be a descendant of Jesse,

and the one coming to rule over non-Jews—

the non-Jews will put their hope in him.’

13 May the God of hope that you believe in fill you all with happiness and peace so that your hope in the power of the holy spirit will be grow to be plentiful.

7 Therefore be _receiving one _another, as also the chosen _one /messiah received you _all, to the_glory of_ the _god.
8 I _am _saying for the_chosen _one /messiah a_servant to _have _become of_the_circumcision for the_truth of_god, in _order that to _confirm the promises to _the fathers 9 and the the_pagans, because/for mercy to _glorify the god, as it _has _been _written:
Because _of this I _will _be _confessing to _you among the_pagans, and to _the name of _you I _will _be _singing _praises.
10 And again he _is _saying:
Be _gladdened, pagans, with the people of _him.
11 And again:
Be _praising, all the pagans, the master, and them _let _praise him all the peoples.
12 And again Aʸsaias/(Yəshaˊ^yāh) is _saying:
There _will _be the root of_ the _Yessai/(Yishay), and the one rising _up to _be _ruling over_the_pagans, in him the_pagans will _be _hoping.
13 And the god of_ the _hope might _fill you _all with _all joy and peace in that to _be _believing, in _order that to _be _being _plentiful you _all in the hope in the_power of_the_spirit holy.

15:14 Paul as missionary to non-Jews

14 My brothers and sisters, I’ve also been persuaded about you myself, that having been filled with knowledge, you’re also full of goodness and able to rebuke each other. 15 But I wrote to you more boldly, partly to remind you all because of the grace given to me by God 16 so that I’d be a minister to the non-Jews for Messiah Yeshua, sharing God’s good message so that the offering of the non-Jews would be acceptable to him, having been purified by the holy spirit. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? 17 Therefore I’m boasting in Messiah Yeshua about things to do with God. 18 I wouldn’t dare to speak about anything that wasn’t done through me by Messiah, that led to the obedience of non-Jews by my message and by my working 19 powerful miracles and amazing things in the power of God’s spirit, so that from Yerushalem all the way around to Illyricum, I’ve obeyed the Messiah’s good message. 20 I was enthusiastic to be preaching the good message wherever Messiah wasn’t known about so that I wouldn’t be building on other’s foundations, 21 [ref]but as it has been written:

‘Anyone who hasn’t been told about him,

they will be seeing,

and anyone who hasn’t heard about him,

they will be understanding.’

14 And I _have _been _persuaded, brothers of _me, also myself I concerning you _all, that also yourselves full are of _goodness, having _been _filled with _all knowledge, being _able also one _another to _be _admonishing.
15 But more _boldly I _wrote to _you _all in part, as reminding you _all, because _of the grace which having _been _given to _me by the god, 16 in _order that to _be me a_minister of_chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) to the pagans, sacredly-servicing the good _message of_ the _god, in _order _that may _become the offering of _the pagans acceptable, having _been _sanctified by the_spirit holy.
17 Therefore I _am _having the boasting in chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous the things with the god.
18 For/Because not I _will _be _daring anything to _be _speaking, of _what things not produced chosen _one /messiah through me, because/for obedience of_the_pagans by _message and work 19 in power of _signs and wonders in the_power of_the_spirit of_god, so _that me from Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim) and around unto the Illurikon, to _have _fulfilled the good _message of _the chosen _one /messiah, 20 and thus being _ambitious to _be _good _message _preaching, not where was _named chosen _one /messiah, in _order _that not on anothers foundation I _may _be _building, 21 but as it _has _been _written:
To _whom not it _was _declared concerning him, they _will _be _seeing, and those _who not have _heard, they _will _be _understanding.

15:22 Paul’s desire to visit Rome

22 [ref]That’s also why I wasn’t able to come to see you all, 23 but now I no longer have a role in those regions. I’ve been wanting to come there for many years now— 24 whenever I’m able to go to Spain next I’m hoping to see you on my way, and then after spending time with you all, you’ll be able to send me on to my destination. 25 [ref]But for now, I’m going to Yerushalem to serve the believers there. 26 The believers in Macedonia and Achaia took pleasure in making a contribution for the poor people among the believers there in Yerushalem. 27 [ref]They took pleasure but they’re also in debt to them, because if the non-Jews have shared in Jewish spiritual things, then they should also minister to them with material things. 28 So then, having done that and having guaranteed heavenly rewards for them, I will go to Spain by way of your place, 29 and I know that when I come, I’ll come bearing Messiah’s full blessing.

30 So brothers and sisters, I’m urging you by our master Yeshua Messiah and by the love of the spirit, to contend along with me in praying to God for me 31 that I will escape from the schemes of those in Yudea who refuse to believe. Also pray that my ministry in Yerushalem would be acceptable to the believers there 32 so that by God’s will, I can happily come to your place and be refreshed there with you all. 33 May the God of peace be with all of you. May it be so.

15:3: Psa 69:9.

15:9: 2Sam 22:50; Psa 18:49.

15:10: Deu 32:43.

15:11: Psa 117:1.

15:12: Isa 11:10 (LXX).

15:21: Isa 52:15 (LXX).

15:22: Rom 1:13.

15:25-26: 1Cor 16:1-4.

15:27: 1Cor 9:11.

22 Therefore also I _was _being _hindered the things much which to _come to you _all.
23 But now no _longer a_place having in the regions these, and a_longing having which to _come to you _all for many years, 24 when wishfully I _may _be _going to the Spania, because/for I _am _hoping passing _through to _see you _all, and by you _all to _be _sent _forward there, if of _you _all first in part I _may _be _filled.
25 But now I _am _going to Hierousalaʸm serving unto _the holy ones.
26 took _pleasure for Makedonia and Aⱪaia a_fellowship certain to _make for the poor of _the holy ones which in Hierousalaʸm.
27 For/Because they _took _pleasure and debtors they _are of _them, because/for if in _the spiritual things of _them shared the pagans, they _are _ought also in to _the material things to _minister to _them.
28 Therefore this having _accomplished, and having _sealed to _them the fruit this, I _will _be _going _away by you _all into Spania.
29 And I _have _known that coming to you _all, in the_fullness of_the_blessing of_chosen _one /messiah, I _will _be _coming.
30 And I _am _exhorting you _all, brothers, by the master of _us, Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen _one /messiah, and by the love of _the spirit, to _contend _together with _me in the prayers for me to the god, 31 that I _may _be _rescued from the ones disbelieving in the Youdaia, and the service of _me which is in Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim) acceptable to _the holy ones may _become, 32 in _order _that in joy I _may _come to you _all by the_will of_god, I _may _find _rest with _you _all.
33 And the god of_ the _peace be with all of _you.
Truly.
