Romans 15:1-10 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
1
We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak1 and not to please ourselves.
2
Each of us should please his neighbor for his good,2 to build him up.3
3
For even Christ did not please himself4 but, as it is written: "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me."a5
4
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us,6 so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
5
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity7 among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus,
6
so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify8 the God and Father9 of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7
Accept one another,10 then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
8
For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jewsb11 on behalf of God's truth, to confirm the promises12 made to the patriarchs
9
so that the Gentiles13 may glorify God14 for his mercy, as it is written: "Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to your name."c15
10
Again, it says, "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people."d16
