Romans 15:1WEB
Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Romans 15:2WEB
Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.
Romans 15:3WEB
For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”
Romans 15:4WEB
For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Romans 15:5WEB
Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,
Romans 15:6WEB
that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 15:7WEB
Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God.
Romans 15:8WEB
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,
Romans 15:9WEB
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.”
Romans 15:10WEB
Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
Romans 15:11WEB
Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”
Romans 15:12WEB
Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.”
Romans 15:13WEB
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.
Romans 15:14WEB
I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.
Romans 15:15WEB
But I write the more boldly to you in part as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,
Romans 15:16WEB
that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:17WEB
I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.
Romans 15:18WEB
For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
Romans 15:19WEB
in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ;
Romans 15:20WEB
yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.
Romans 15:21WEB
But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven’t heard will understand.”
Romans 15:22WEB
Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,
Romans 15:23WEB
but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,
Romans 15:24WEB
whenever I travel to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.

But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.

For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.
Romans 15:27WEB
Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in material things.
Romans 15:28WEB
When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.
Romans 15:29WEB
I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.
Romans 15:30WEB
Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,
Romans 15:31WEB
that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
Romans 15:32WEB
that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.
Romans 15:33WEB
Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
