Romans 15:1-9 ▼

1 WE then who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not seek to please ourselves.

2 Let every one of us please his neighbor in good and constructive ways.

3 For even Christ pleased not himself: but as it is written, The reproaches of those who reproached you have fallen on me.

4 For whatever things were written of old were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to regard one another to be equally worthy through the example of Jesus Christ;

6 That you may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ.

7 Therefore be close and bear one another’s burdens, just as Christ also brought you close to the glory of God.

8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision, for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers:

9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercies which were poured upon them; as it is written, Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles, and sing unto your name.
