Romans 15:1-9 ▼

1 But we ought, we that are strong, to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

2 Let each one of us please his neighbour with a view to what is good, to edification.

3 For the Christ also did not please himself; but according as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me.

4 For as many things as have been written before have been written for our instruction, that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

5 Now the God of endurance and of encouragement give to you to be like-minded one toward another, according to Christ Jesus;

6 that ye may with one accord, with one mouth, glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Wherefore receive ye one another, according as the Christ also has received you to [the] glory of God.

8 For I say that Jesus Christ became a minister of [the] circumcision for [the] truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers;

9 and that the nations should glorify God for mercy; according as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among [the] nations, and will sing to thy name.
