Romans 15:1-9 ▼

1 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the powerless and not to please ourselves.

2 Let each of us please the neighbor unto good, for building up.

3 For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it has been written: “The reproaches of those reproaching You fell on Me.”

4 For as much as was written before was all written for our instruction, so that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have the hope.

5 Now may the God of endurance and encouragement grant you? to be of the same mind with one another, according to Christ Jesus,

6 so that with one accord, with one mouth, 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.

8 For I say that Christ has become a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, in order to confirm the promises to the fathers,

9 and for the Gentiles to glorify God for mercy, as it has been written: “Because of this I will praise You among the Gentiles, and I will sing praises to Your name.”
