Romans 15:1–13

¹And we ought—we who are strong—to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves; ²for let each one of us please the neighbour for good, unto edification, ³for even the Christ did not please himself, but, according as it hath been written, ‘The reproaches of those reproaching Thee fell upon me;’ ⁴for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.

⁵And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus; ⁶that with one accord—with one mouth—ye may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷Wherefore receive ye one another, according as also the Christ did receive us, to the glory of God. ⁸And I say Jesus Christ to have become a ministrant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to the fathers, ⁹and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it hath been written, ‘Because of this I will confess to Thee among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,’ ¹⁰and again it saith, ‘Rejoice ye nations, with His people;’ ¹¹and again, ‘Praise the Lord, all ye nations; and laud Him, all ye peoples;’ ¹²and again, Isaiah saith, ‘There shall be the root of Jesse, and he who is rising to rule nations—upon him shall nations hope;’

¹³And the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.
