Romans 15:1-13 - Accept One Another According To Christ's Example
1 Now we who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to seek our own pleasure. 2 Let each one of us try to make his neighbor happy for his good, unto his upbuilding. 3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but as it is written, The reproaches of those who were reproaching thee fell upon me. 4 For everything that was written of old has been written for our instruction, that through patience, and through the comfort of the Scriptures, we might have hope. 5 Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be in full sympathy with one another, in accordance with the example of Jesus Christ; 6 so that with one heart and with one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Wherefore always receive one another into fellowship, to the glory of God, even as Christ also received you. 8 For I say that Christ has been made a minister of the Circumcision the people of Israel, in vindication of God's truth, so that he may confirm the promises given to our forefathers; 9 and so that the Gentiles also should praise God for his mercy, as it is written, Therefore I will offer praise to thee among the Gentiles, And sing to thy name.
10 Or again, Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people. 11 Or again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles, And let all the people extol him.
12 Or again, as Isaiah says. There shall be the root of Jesse, And he that arises to rule over the Gentiles; On him shall the Gentiles hope.
13 Now the God of all hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may be overflowing with hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.
