	GODBEY Godbey New Testament	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	But we who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.	We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves.	We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves.
2	Let each of us please his neighbor in that which is good, unto edification;	Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.	Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.
3	for Christ did not please himself; but, as has been written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.	For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”	For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”
4	For so many things as were previously written were written for our instruction, in order that through the patience and through the consolation of the scriptures we may have hope.	For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.	For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
5	But may the God of patience and consolation grant unto you to think the same things among one another with reference to Christ Jesus.	May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus,	May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,
6	In order that you may with one accord with one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.	that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.	so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7	Therefore receive one another, as Christ also received you, to the glory of God.	Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.	Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
8	For I say that Christ has been made minister of circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises of the fathers,	For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God’s truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs,	For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed
9	and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as has been written, Therefore I will confess thee among the Gentiles, and in thy name sing praises.	and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.”	and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing the praises of your name.”
10	And again he says, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.	And again it is said, “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”	Again, it says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
11	And again, Let all the Gentiles praise the Lord; and let all ye peoples praise him.	And again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples extol him.”	And again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; let all the peoples extol him.”
12	And again, Isaiah says, There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to rule over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope.	And again Isaiah says, “The root of Jesse will come, even he who arises to rule the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles hope.”	And again, Isaiah says, “The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; in him the Gentiles will hope.”
13	And the God of hope fill you in all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Ghost.	May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.	May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
14	But I am indeed persuaded, my brethren, concerning you, that you are also full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, being able also to admonish one another.	I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another.	I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with knowledge and competent to instruct one another.
15	But I have written unto you more boldly in part, as reminding you, on account of the grace which has been given unto me from God,	But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God	Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me
16	that I should be the minister of Christ Jesus unto the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles may be well received, having been sanctified by the Holy Ghost.	to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.	to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17	Moreover I have boldness in Christ Jesus as to the things appertaining to God:	In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God.	Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
18	for I will not dare to speak anything save those things which Christ has wrought through me, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and deed,	For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed,	I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done—
19	in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem, and around about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ;	by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God—so that from Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ;	by the power of signs and wonders, through the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
20	but being so ambitious not to preach the gospel, where Christ has been named, in order that I may not build on another man's foundation;	and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else’s foundation,	It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.
21	but, as has been written, Those, to whom he has not been preached, shall see concerning him, and they who have not heard shall understand.	but as it is written, “Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand.”	Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”
22	Therefore indeed I was hindered much from coming unto you:	This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you.	This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.
23	but now, no longer having a place in these regions, and having an earnest longing for many years to come to you,	But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you,	But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to visit you,
24	as I may journey into Spain, for I hope traveling through to see you, and by you to be sent forth thither, if in the first place I may be satisfied with your company?	I hope to see you in passing as I go to Spain, and to be helped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a while.	I plan to do so when I go to Spain. I hope to see you while passing through and to have you assist me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.
25	but now I journey to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints.	At present, however, I am going to Jerusalem bringing aid to the saints.	Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem in the service of the Lord’s people there.
26	For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a certain contribution to the poor who are in Jerusalem.	For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem.	For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem.
27	For they were pleased to do so; and they are their debtors: for if the Gentiles participated in spiritual things, they owe it to them also to minister unto them in carnal things.	For they were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings.	They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.
28	Then having completed and sealed this fruit unto them, I will sail away for Spain by you;	When therefore I have completed this and have delivered to them what has been collected, I will leave for Spain by way of you.	So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this contribution, I will go to Spain and visit you on the way.
29	but I know that coming unto you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.	I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.	I know that when I come to you, I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.
30	But I exhort you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you cooperate with me in your prayers to God in my behalf;	I appeal to 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,	I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
31	in order that I may be delivered from those in Judea who do not believe, and my ministry may be acceptable to the saints in Jerusalem;	that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,	Pray that I may be kept safe from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord’s people there,
32	in order that having come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest.	so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company.	so that I may come to you with joy, by God’s will, and in your company be refreshed.
33	Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.	May the God of peace be with you all. Amen.	The God of peace be with you all. Amen.
