Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
New International Version NIV
1 Now, we that are stronger 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 you Please his neighbour unto good, to edification.
2
Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.
3 For Christ did not please himself: but, as it is written: The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon 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 what things soever were written were written for our learning: that, through patience and the comfort of the scriptures, we 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 of comfort grant you to be of one mind, one towards another, according to Jesus Christ:
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 with one mind and with one mouth you may glorify God and 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 one another, as Christ also hath received you, unto the honour of God.
7
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
8 For I say that Christ Jesus was 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 But that the Gentiles are to glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles and will sing to 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 magnify him, all ye people.
11
And again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; let all the peoples extol him.”
12 And again, Isaias saith: There shall be a root of Jesse; and he that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in him the Gentiles shall hope.
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 you may abound in hope and in 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.
