King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
1
We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves.
2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
2
Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.
3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
3
For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”
4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
4
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
5
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,
6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
6
so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
7
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
8
For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed
9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
9
and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing the praises of your name.”
10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
10
Again, it says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
11
And again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; let all the peoples extol him.”
12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
12
And again, Isaiah says, “The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; in him the Gentiles will hope.”
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
