Romans 15:1-9 ▼

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

2 Let each one of us please his neighbor in that which is good for his edification;

3 for even Christ pleased not Himself; but, as it has been written, "The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on Me."

4 For whatsoever things were written in former times were written for our instruction, that we through patience and through consolation of the Scriptures may have hope.

5 Now the God of patience and of consolation grant you to be of the same mind one with another, according to Christ Jesus:

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

7 Wherefore, receive one another, as Christ also received you, to the glory of God.

8 For I say that Christ hath become a minister of the circumcision, in behalf of God's truth, that He might confirm the promises made to the fathers;

9 and that the gentiles might glorify God for His mercy; as it has been written, "For this cause, I will confess to Thee among the gentiles; and to Thy name will I sing praise."
