Romans 15:1–13

Bearing Others’ Burdens

15We ^athen who are strong ought to bear with the ¹scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. ^2bLet each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to ²edification. ^3cFor even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, ^d“The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.” ⁴For ^ewhatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the ³patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. ^5fNow may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, ⁶that you may ^gwith one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Glorify God Together

⁷Therefore ^hreceive one another, just ⁱas Christ also received ⁴us, to the glory of God. ⁸Now I say that ^jJesus Christ has become a ⁵servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, ^kto confirm the promises made to the fathers, ⁹and ^lthat the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written:

^m“For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles,

And sing to Your name.”

¹⁰And again he says:

ⁿ“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!”

¹¹And again:

^o“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles!

Laud Him, all you peoples!”

¹²And again, Isaiah says:

^p“There shall be a root of Jesse;

And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles,

In Him the Gentiles shall hope.”

¹³Now may the God of hope fill you with all ^qjoy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
