Romans 15

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 We who have strong faith should help the weak with their problems. We should not please only ourselves.

2 We should all please our neighbors. Let us do what is good for them. Let us build them up.

3 Even Christ did not please himself. It is written, "Those who make fun of you have made fun of me also."(Psalm 69:9)

4 Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us. The Scriptures give us strength to go on. They cheer us up and give us hope.

5 Our God is a God who strengthens you and cheers you up. May he help you agree with each other as you follow Christ Jesus.

6 Then you can give glory to God with one heart and voice. He is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Christ has accepted you. So accept one another in order to bring praise to God.

8 I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews. He teaches us that God is true. He shows us that God will keep the promises he made to the founders of our nation.

9 Jesus became a servant of the Jews so that people who are not Jews could give glory to God for his mercy. It is written, "I will praise you among those who aren't Jews. I will sing praises to you." (2 Samuel 22:50; Psalm 18:49)

10 Again it says, "You non-Jews, be full of joy. Be joyful together with God's people." (Deuteronomy 32:43)

11 And again it says, "All you non-Jews, praise the Lord. All you nations, sing praises to him." (Psalm 117:1)

12 And Isaiah says, "The Root of Jesse will grow up quickly. He will rule over the nations. Those who aren't Jews will put their hope in him." (Isaiah 11:10)

13 May the God who gives hope fill you with great joy. May you have perfect peace as you trust in him. May the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with hope.

14 My brothers and sisters, I am sure that you are full of goodness. What you know is complete. You are able to teach one another.

15 I have written to you very boldly about some things. I wanted you to think about them again. The grace of God has allowed me

16 to serve Christ Jesus among those who aren't Jews. My duty as a priest is to preach God's good news. Then the non-Jews will become an offering that pleases God. The Holy Spirit will make the offering holy.

17 Because I belong to Christ Jesus, I can take pride in my work for God.

18 I will not try to speak of anything except what Christ has done through me. He has been leading those who aren't Jews to obey God. He has been doing this by what I have said and done.

19 He has given me power to do signs and miracles. He has given me the power of the Holy Spirit. From Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum I have finished preaching the good news about Christ.

20 I have always wanted to preach the good news where Christ was not known. I don't want to build on what someone else has started.

21 It is written, "Those who were not told about him will understand. Those who have not heard will know what it all means." (Isaiah 52:15)

22 That's why I have often been kept from coming to you.

23 Now there is no more place for me to work in those areas. For many years I have been longing to see you.

24 So I plan to see you when I go to Spain. I hope to visit you while I am passing through. And I hope you will help me on my journey there. But first I want to enjoy being with you for a while.

25 Now I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve God's people there.

26 The believers in Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to take an offering for those who were poor among God's people in Jerusalem.

27 They were happy to do it. And of course they owe it to them. Those who aren't Jews have shared from the Jews' spiritual blessings. So the non-Jews should share their earthly blessings with the Jews.

28 I want to finish my task. I want to make sure that the poor in Jerusalem have received the offering. Then I will go to Spain. On my way I will visit you.

29 I know that when I come to you, I will come with the full blessing of Christ.

30 Brothers and sisters, I am asking you through the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me. Pray for me with the love the Holy Spirit provides.

31 Pray that I will be saved from those in Judea who do not believe. Pray that my work in Jerusalem will be accepted by God's people there.

32 Then, as God has planned, I will come to you with joy. Together we will be renewed.

33 May 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
