Romans 15:3–5

15:3 For even Christ did not please himself, but just as it is written, “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”2 15:4 For everything that was written in former times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we may have hope. 15:5 Now may the God of endurance and comfort give you unity with one another3 in accordance with Christ Jesus,
