Romans 15:1-9 ▼

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

2 Let each of us please his neighbor in that which is good, unto edification;

3 for Christ did not please himself; but, as has been written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell 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.

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.

6 In order that you may with one accord with one mouth glorify God, even the 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 been made minister of circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises of the fathers,

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.
