Romans 15

New Century Version NCV

1 We who are strong in faith should help the weak with their weak- nesses, and not please only ourselves.

2 Let each of us please our neighbors for their good, to help them be stronger in faith.

3 Even Christ did not live to please himself. It was as the Scriptures said: "When people insult you, it hurts me."

4 Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us. The Scriptures give us patience and encouragement so that we can have hope.

5 Patience and encouragement come from God. And I pray that God will help you all agree with each other the way Christ Jesus wants.

6 Then you will all be joined together, and you will give glory to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Christ accepted you, so you should accept each other, which will bring glory to God.

8 I tell you that Christ became a servant of the Jews to show that God's promises to the Jewish ancestors are true.

9 And he also did this so that those who are not Jews could give glory to God for the mercy he gives to them. It is written in the Scriptures: "So I will praise you among the non-Jewish people. I will sing praises to your name."

10 The Scripture also says, "Be happy, you who are not Jews, together with his people."

11 Again the Scripture says, "All you who are not Jews, praise the Lord. All you people, sing praises to him."

12 And Isaiah says, "A new king will come from the family of Jesse. He will come to rule over the non-Jewish people, and they will have hope because of him."

13 I pray that the God who gives hope will fill you with much joy and peace while you trust in him. Then your hope will overflow by the power of the Holy Spirit.

14 My brothers and sisters, I am sure that you are full of goodness. I know that you have all the knowledge you need and that you are able to teach each other.

15 But I have written to you very openly about some things I wanted you to remember. I did this because God gave me this special gift:

16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to those who are not Jews. I served God by teaching his Good News, so that the non-Jewish people could be an offering that God would accept -- an offering made holy by the Holy Spirit.

17 So I am proud of what I have done for God in Christ Jesus.

18 I will not talk about anything except what Christ has done through me in leading those who are not Jews to obey God. They have obeyed God because of what I have said and done,

19 because of the power of miracles and the great things they saw, and because of the power of the Holy Spirit. I preached the Good News from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, and so I have finished that part of my work.

20 I always want to preach the Good News in places where people have never heard of Christ, because I do not want to build on the work someone else has already started.

21 But it is written in the Scriptures: "Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard about him will understand."

22 This is the reason I was stopped many times from coming to you.

23 Now I have finished my work here. Since for many years I have wanted to come to you,

24 I hope to visit you on my way to Spain. After I enjoy being with you for a while, I hope you can help me on my trip.

25 Now I am going to Jerusalem to help God's people.

26 The believers in Macedonia and Southern Greece were happy to give their money to help the poor among God's people at Jerusalem.

27 They were happy to do this, and really they owe it to them. These who are not Jews have shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, so they should use their material possessions to help the Jews.

28 After I am sure the poor in Jerusalem get the money that has been given for them, I will leave for Spain and stop and visit you.

29 I know that when I come to you I will bring Christ's full blessing.

30 Brothers and sisters, I beg you to help me in my work by praying to God for me. Do this because of our Lord Jesus and the love that the Holy Spirit gives us.

31 Pray that I will be saved from the nonbelievers in Judea and that this help I bring to Jerusalem will please God's people there.

32 Then, if God wants me to, I will come to you with joy, and together you and I will have a time of rest.

33 The God who gives peace be with you all. Amen.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 debemus autem nos firmiores inbecillitates infirmorum sustinere et non nobis placere

2 unusquisque vestrum proximo suo placeat in bonum ad aedificationem

3 etenim Christus non sibi placuit sed sicut scriptum est inproperia inproperantium tibi ceciderunt super me

4 quaecumque enim scripta sunt ad nostram doctrinam scripta sunt ut per patientiam et consolationem scripturarum spem habeamus

5 Deus autem patientiae et solacii det vobis id ipsum sapere in alterutrum secundum Iesum Christum

6 ut unianimes uno ore honorificetis Deum et Patrem Domini nostri Iesu Christi

7 propter quod suscipite invicem sicut et Christus suscepit vos in honorem Dei

8 dico enim Christum Iesum ministrum fuisse circumcisionis propter veritatem Dei ad confirmandas promissiones patrum

9 gentes autem super misericordiam honorare Deum sicut scriptum est propter hoc confitebor tibi in gentibus et nomini tuo cantabo

10 et iterum dicit laetamini gentes cum plebe eius

11 et iterum laudate omnes gentes Dominum et magnificate eum omnes populi

12 et rursus Esaias ait erit radix Iesse et qui exsurget regere gentes in eo gentes sperabunt

13 Deus autem spei repleat vos omni gaudio et pace in credendo ut abundetis in spe in virtute Spiritus Sancti

14 certus sum autem fratres mei et ego ipse de vobis quoniam et ipsi pleni estis dilectione repleti omni scientia ita ut possitis alterutrum monere

15 audacius autem scripsi vobis fratres ex parte tamquam in memoriam vos reducens propter gratiam quae data est mihi a Deo

16 ut sim minister Christi Iesu in gentibus sanctificans evangelium Dei ut fiat oblatio gentium accepta sanctificata in Spiritu Sancto

17 habeo igitur gloriam in Christo Iesu ad Deum

18 non enim audeo aliquid loqui eorum quae per me non effecit Christus in oboedientiam gentium verbo et factis

19 in virtute signorum et prodigiorum in virtute Spiritus Sancti ita ut ab Hierusalem per circuitum usque in Illyricum repleverim evangelium Christi

20 sic autem hoc praedicavi evangelium non ubi nominatus est Christus ne super alienum fundamentum aedificarem

21 sed sicut scriptum est quibus non est adnuntiatum de eo videbunt et qui non audierunt intellegent

22 propter quod et inpediebar plurimum venire ad vos

23 nunc vero ulterius locum non habens in his regionibus cupiditatem autem habens veniendi ad vos ex multis iam annis

24 cum in Hispaniam proficisci coepero spero quod praeteriens videam vos et a vobis deducar illuc si vobis primum ex parte fruitus fuero

25 nunc igitur proficiscar in Hierusalem ministrare sanctis

26 probaverunt enim Macedonia et Achaia conlationem aliquam facere in pauperes sanctorum qui sunt in Hierusalem

27 placuit enim eis et debitores sunt eorum nam si spiritalium eorum participes facti sunt gentiles debent et in carnalibus ministrare eis

28 hoc igitur cum consummavero et adsignavero eis fructum hunc proficiscar per vos in Hispaniam

29 scio autem quoniam veniens ad vos in abundantia benedictionis Christi veniam

30 obsecro igitur vos fratres per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum et per caritatem Spiritus ut adiuvetis me in orationibus pro me ad Deum

31 ut liberer ab infidelibus qui sunt in Iudaea et obsequii mei oblatio accepta fiat in Hierosolyma sanctis

32 ut veniam ad vos in gaudio per voluntatem Dei et refrigerer vobiscum

33 Deus autem pacis sit cum omnibus vobis amen
