Verse
Romans - ch 15 v 1 - 20
- Now we that are stronger, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
- Let every one of you please his neighbour unto good, to edification.
- For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written: The reproaches of them that reproached thee, fell upon me.
- For what things soever were written, were written for our learning: that through patience and the comfort of the scriptures, we might have hope.
- Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of one mind one towards another, according to Jesus Christ:
- That with one mind, and with one mouth, you may glorify God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Wherefore receive one another, as Christ also hath received you unto the honour of God.
- For I say that Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.
- But that the Gentiles are to glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and will sing to thy name.
- And again he saith: Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
- And again: Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and magnify him, all ye people.
- And again Isaias saith: There shall be a root of Jesse; and he that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in him the Gentiles shall hope.
- Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing; that you may abound in hope, and in the power of the Holy Ghost.
- And I myself also, my brethren, am assured of you, that you also are full of love, replenished with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish one another.
- But I have written to you, brethren, more boldly in some sort, as it were putting you in mind: because of the grace which is given me from God.
- That I should be the minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles; sanctifying the gospel of God, that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and sanctified in the Holy Ghost.
- I have therefore glory in Christ Jesus towards God.
- For I dare not to speak of any of those things which Christ worketh not by me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
- By the virtue of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Ghost, so that from Jerusalem round about as far as unto Illyricum, I have replenished the gospel of Christ.
- And I have so preached this gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation.
