1 As for us who are strong, our duty is to bear with the weaknesses of those who are not strong, and not seek our own pleasure. 2 Let each of us endeavour to please his fellow Christian, aiming at a blessing calculated to build him up. 3 For even the Christ did not seek His own pleasure. His principle was, "The reproaches which they addressed to Thee have fallen on me." 4 For all that was written of old has been written for our instruction, so that we may always have hope through the power of endurance and the encouragement which the Scriptures afford. 5 And may God, the giver of power of endurance and of that encouragement, grant you to be in full sympathy with one another in accordance with the example of Christ Jesus, 6 so that with oneness both of heart and voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
