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

¹ Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves. ² Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up. ³ For even Christ did not please himself. But, as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me." ⁴ For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through patience and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. ⁵ Now the God of patience and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus, ⁶ that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷ Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God. ⁸ Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers, ⁹ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, "therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name."

¹⁰ Again he says, "Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people." ¹¹ Again, "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles. Let all the peoples praise him."

¹² Again, Isaiah says, "There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope."

¹³ Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
