Romans 15

CHAPTER 15 Bear One Another's Weaknesses

1 [⁵ought ¹But ²we ³the ones ⁴able] [²the ³weaknesses ⁴of the ones ⁵disabled ¹to bear], and not to please just ourselves. 2 [³each ¹For ⁴of us ⁶his neighbor ²let ⁵please] for good and for edifying! 3 For even the Christ [²not ³himself ¹pleased]; but as it has been written, The scornings of the ones berating you fell upon me. 4 For as much as was written beforehand, [²for ³our ⁴instruction ¹it was written beforehand], that through the endurance and on account of the comfort of the scriptures [²hope ¹we should have]. 5 And the God of patience and comfort, may he give to you the same regard with one another according to Christ Jesus; 6 that with one accord, in one mouth you should glorify God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Therefore take to yourself one another! as also the Christ took you to himself, for the glory of God. 8 But I say, Christ Jesus [²a servant ¹has become] of the circumcision for the truth of God, for the firming the promises of the fathers; 9 and the nations for mercy to glorify God, as it has been written, saying, Because of this I will make acknowledgment to you among the nations, and to your name I will strum. 10 And again it says, Be glad, O nations, with his people! 11 And again, Praise the Lord, all the nations, and praise him all peoples! 12 And again Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and the one rising up to rule nations, upon him nations shall hope. 13 And the God of hope, may he fill you with all joy and peace in trusting, for you abounding in the hope, in power [²spirit ¹of holy].

Ministry to the Nations

14 But I am persuaded, my brethren, even I myself, concerning you, that you also are full of goodness, being filled with all knowledge, being able even [²others ¹to admonish]. 15 But more daring I wrote to you, brethren, in part, as reminding you, through the favor, the one being given to me by God, 16 for me to be a minister of Jesus Christ to the nations, administering in sacred service the good news of God, that [⁵should be ¹the ²offering ³of the ⁴nations] well-received, having been sanctified in [²spirit ¹holy]. 17 I have then a boasting in Christ Jesus -- the things about God. 18 [³not ¹For ²I dare] to speak anything which [²did not manufacture ¹Christ] through me for the obedience of the nations -- by word and work, 19 in the power of signs and miracles, in the power of spirit of God; so as for me from Jerusalem and round about unto Illyricum to accomplish the good news of Christ. 20 And so striving earnestly to announce good news, [³was not ¹where ⁴named ²Christ], that [²not ⁴upon ⁵another's ⁶foundation ¹I should ³build]; 21 but as it has been written, To the ones to whom it was not announced concerning him, they shall see; and the ones who have not heard, they shall perceive. 22 Therefore also I was hindered the many times to come to you. 23 But now no longer [²a place ¹having] in these regions, [³a longing ¹and ²having] to come to you for many years, 24 whenever I should go into Spain I will come to you; for I hope traveling by to see you, and by you to be sent forward there, if I should [⁵by you ¹first ³in ⁴part ²be filled up]. 25 But now I go unto Jerusalem, serving to the holy ones. 26 [⁵think well ¹For ²Macedonia ³and ⁴Achaia ⁸fellowship contribution ⁷a certain ⁶to make] unto the poor of the holy ones, of the ones in Jerusalem. 27 For they take pleasure in it, and [²debtors ¹they are their]. For if to the [³spiritual things ²they participated in their ¹nations], they ought also in the fleshly things minister to them. 28 This then completing, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will go forth by you into Spain. 29 And I know that coming to you, [²in ³fullness ⁴of blessing ⁵of the ⁶good news ⁷of the ⁸Christ ¹I shall come]. 30 But I appeal to you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the spirit, to be companion at arms with me in the prayers for me to God, 31 that I should be rescued from the ones resisting persuasion among the Jews; and that my service, the one for Jerusalem, [²well-received ¹should be] by the holy ones; 32 that in joy I should come to you by the will of God, that I should be refreshed together with you. 33 And the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
