Romans 15:1-9 ▼

1 Now we who are strong have an obligation to bear the weaknesses of those without strength, and not to please ourselves.

2 Each one of us must please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

3 For even the Messiah did not please Himself. On the contrary, as it is written, The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.

4 For whatever was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that we may have hope through endurance and through the encouragement from the Scriptures.

5 Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement allow you to live in harmony with one another, according to the command of Christ Jesus,

6 so that you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with a united mind and voice.

7 Therefore accept one another, just as the Messiah also accepted you, to the glory of God.

8 For I say that the Messiah became a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises to the fathers,

9 and so that Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy. As it is written: Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles, and I will sing psalms to Your name.
