Romans 15:1-13 - Accept One Another According To Christ's Example

1 I add, we that are better inform'd ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not study our own pleasure. 2 let every one of us consult the good of his neighbour to his edification. 3 for even Christ did not consult his own satisfaction; but as it is written, "the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me." 4 now whatever was heretofore writ, was writ for our instruction; that we through patience and the comfortable promises of the scriptures might have hope. 5 May the God of patience and consolation, make you equally concern'd for one another, according to the example of Christ Jesus, 6 that ye may unanimously with one voice glorify God, even the father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 wherefore be kindly affected to one another, as Christ was to you, that you might glorify God. 8 for I tell you, that Jesus Christ was a minister to the Jews, to manifest the veracity of God in fulfilling the promises made to the fathers: 9 and you Gentiles ought to 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 ."

10 and again the scripture saith, "rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people." 11 and elsewhere, praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and laud him, all ye people."

12 besides Esaias saith, "there shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles 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 spirit.
