2 For let each of us please the neighbor for good to the building. 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 also pleased not himself, but as has been written, The reproaches of them reproaching thee fell upon 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 whatever before was written before are for our instruction was before written that by patience and consolation able of the writings we might 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 And may the God of patience and his consolation give you to mind the same in one another according 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 That unanimously in one mouth ye should glorify the God and 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 Wherefore receive ye one another, as also Christ received us 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 And I say Jesus Christ has become the servant of circumcision for the truth of God, to 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 the nations to glorify God for mercies; as has been written, For this will I acknowledge to thee in the nations; and I will play on, the harp to thy name. 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 nations, 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, Praise the Lord, all ye nations; and land him all ye people. 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 Esaias says, The root shall be of Jesse, and he having risen to rule over the nations; upon him shall the nations 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 may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, for you to abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit. 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 And I am persuaded my brethren, and I myself for you, that ye yourselves also are full of goodness, tilled with all knowledge, being able also to remind 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 And I wrote to you more boldly, brethren, from part as reminding you, by the grace given me by 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 For me to be the, workman of Jesus Christ to the nations, offering in sacrifice the good news of God, that the bringing forward of the nations be acceptable, consecrated in the Holy Spirit. 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 I have therefore boasting in Christ Jesus the things toward 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 shall dare to speak nothing that Christ has not brought about by me, for the obedience of the nations, by word and by work, 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 By power of signs and wonders, by power of the Spirit of God, so that I from Jerusalem, and round about even to Illyricum, have completed the good news 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 And so seeking the honour to announce the good news, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon a strange 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, to whom it was not announced of him, they shall see: 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 Wherefore also I was hindered in many things from coming to 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 And now having no more place in these climes, and having an anxious desire to come to you from many years. 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 Whenever I go into Spain, I will come to you, for I hope passing through to see you: and by you to be sent forward there, if first from part I might be filled with you. 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 And now I go to Jerusalem serving the holy ones. 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 contented a certain mutual participation be made for the poor of the holy ones 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 contented; and they are their debtors. For if the nations have participated in their spiritual things, they ought also to serve them in things pertaining to the flesh. 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 Therefore having completed this, and sealed to them this fruit, I will come away by you to Spain. 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 And I know that, coming to you, I shall come in the completion of the praise of the good news 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 And I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by love of the Spirit, to fight together with me in prayers for me to God; 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 That I might be saved from the unbelieving in Judea; and that my service for Jerusalem be acceptable to the holy ones; 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 That in joy I might come to you by the will of God, and rest with you. 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 And the God of peace with you all. Amen. May the God of peace be with you all. Amen. The God of peace be with you all. Amen.
