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

1 We then who are strong ought to hear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let each one of us please his neighbor, to promote what is good, for edification. 3 For Christ did not seek his own pleasure, but, as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached thee fell on me." 4 For whatever things were written aforetime, were written for our instruction; that we through the patience and the consolation of the Scriptures might have hope. 5 And may the God of patience and consolation grant that ye may be of the same mind one with another, according to Christ Jesus; 6 that with one accord ye may with one mouth glorify God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ received you to the glory of God. 8 For I say that Christ became a minister to the circumcised for the sake of Gods truth, in order to make sure the promises given to the fathers; 9 and that the gentiles glorified God for his mercy, as it is written, "For this cause I will give praise to thee among the gentiles, and sing to thy name."

10 And again he saith: "Rejoice, ye gentiles, with his people." 11 And again: "Praise the Lord, all ye gentiles, and let every people praise him."

12 And again Isaiah saith: "There shall be the shoot from Jesse, and he that riseth up to rule the gentiles; in him shall the gentiles hope."

13 And may 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.
