ULT ROM Chapter 15

15 Now we, being able, ought to bear the weaknesses of the ones being unable, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, toward his building up. 3 For even Christ did not please himself. Instead, just as it is written, “The insults of the ones insulting you fell on me.” 4 For whatever was previously written was written for our own instruction, in order that through the patience and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we would have the hope. 5 Now may the God of patience and of encouragement grant you to think the same with each other according to Christ Jesus, 6 so that with one accord you might glorify with one mouth the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God. 8 For I say that Christ has become a servant of the circumcision because of the truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers, 9 and also for the Gentiles to glorify God because of his mercy, just as it is written,

“For this reason, I will confess you among the Gentiles

and sing psalms to your name.”

10 And again it says,

“Rejoice, Gentiles, with his people.”

11 And again,

“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;

and let all the peoples extol him.”

12 And again, Isaiah says,

“The root of Jesse will come, even the one rising to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.”

13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that you might abound in this hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

14 But I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that also you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to instruct one another. 15 But I wrote more boldly to you in part as reminding you, because of the grace given me by God, 16 in order for me to be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest the gospel of God so that the offering of the Gentiles might become well-pleasing, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 Therefore, in Christ Jesus I have a boast about the things pertaining to God. 18 For I will not dare to speak anything except what Christ produced 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—so that from Jerusalem, and round about as far as Illyricum, I have fulfilled the gospel of Christ; 20 but in this way, counting it honor to proclaim the gospel, not where Christ has been named, in order that I might not build upon another man’s foundation. 21 But just as it is written:

“Those to whom it was not reported concerning him will see,

and those who have not heard will understand.”

22 Therefore, I was also prevented these many times from coming to you. 23 But now, no longer having a place in these regions, and having a longing from a considerable number of years to come to you, 24 whenever I travel to Spain, I indeed hope, passing through, to see you, and to be sent ahead there by you, if I might first be satisfied for a while by you. 25 But now I am traveling to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints. 26 For Macedonia and Achaia were well-pleased to make a certain contribution to the poor ones of the saints in Jerusalem. 27 For they were pleased, and they are obligated to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are obligated also to minister to them in material things. 28 Therefore, having completed this and having sealed this fruit to them, I will go away through you to Spain. 29 But I know that coming to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

30 Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers to God for me, 31 so that I might be delivered from the disobedient ones in Judea, and so that my service that is for Jerusalem might be acceptable to the saints; 32 so that I might come to you in joy through the will of God, and might be refreshed together with you. 33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
