Please Your Neighbors, Not Yourselves

15 Now we who are strong ought to bear with the weaknesses of those who are without strength; we ought not to please ourselves. 2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 3 For even Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached yoʋ fell on me.” 4 For everything that was written in former times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope. 5 Now may the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to have the same mind toward one another, following the example of Christ Jesus, 6 so that with one accord and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
