Verse
Romans - ch 15 v 1 - 20
- But we ought, we that are strong, to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
- Let each one of us please his neighbour with a view to what is good, to edification.
- For the Christ also did not please himself; but according as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me.
- For as many things as have been written before have been written for our instruction, that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.
- Now the God of endurance and of encouragement give to you to be like-minded one toward another, according to Christ Jesus;
- that ye may with one accord, with one mouth, glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Wherefore receive ye one another, according as the Christ also has received you to the glory of God.
- For I say that Jesus Christ became a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers;
- and that the nations should glorify God for mercy; according as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the nations, and will sing to thy name.
- And again he says, Rejoice, nations, with his people.
- And again, Praise the Lord, all ye nations, and let all the peoples laud him.

- But I have written to you the more boldly, brethren, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace given to me by God,
- for me to be minister of Christ Jesus to the nations, carrying on as a sacrificial service the message of glad tidings of God, in order that the offering up of the nations might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
- I have therefore whereof to boast in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God.
- For I will not dare to speak anything of the things which Christ has not wrought by me, for the obedience of the nations, by word and deed,
- in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circuit round to Illyricum, have fully preached the glad tidings of the Christ;
- and so aiming to announce the glad tidings, not where Christ has been named, that I might not build upon another's foundation;
