Romans 15
15
1Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2Let each one of us please his neighbour for that which is good, unto edifying. 3For Christ also pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me. 4For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that through patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope.
5Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus: 6that with one accord ye may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7Wherefore receive ye one another, even as Christ also received you, to the glory of God. 8For I say that Christ hath been made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given unto the fathers, 9and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, Therefore will I give praise unto thee among the Gentiles, And sing unto thy name. 10And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. 11And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; And let all the peoples praise him. 12And again, Isaiah saith, There shall be the root of Jesse, And he that ariseth to rule over the Gentiles; On him shall the Gentiles hope.
13Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Ghost.
14And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. 15But I write the more boldly unto you in some measure, as putting you again in remembrance, because of the grace that was given me of God, 16that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus unto the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
17I have therefore my glorying in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God. 18For I will not dare to speak of any things save those which Christ wrought through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed, 19in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Ghost; so that from Jerusalem, and round about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ; 20yea, making it my aim so to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build upon another man's foundation; 21but, as it is written, They shall see, to whom no tidings of him came, And they who have not heard shall understand.
22Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you: 23but now, having no more any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come unto you, 24whensoever I go unto Spain (for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)-- 25but now, I say, I go unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints. 26For it hath been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints that are at Jerusalem. 27Yea, it hath been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to minister unto them in carnal things. 28When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by you unto Spain. 29And I know that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ.
30Now I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; 31that I may be delivered from them that are disobedient in Judaea, and that my ministration which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints; 32that I may come unto you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest. 33Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Romiyim (Romans) 15
15
1But we who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2Let each one of us please his neighbour for his good, to build him up.
3For even the Messiah did not please Himself, but, as it has been written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell upon Me.”# Psa. 69:9
4For whatever was written before was written for our instruction,#See 1Cor. 10:11; 2Tim. 3:16, 17 that through endurance and encouragement of the Scriptures we might have the expectation.
5And the Elohim of endurance and encouragement give you to be of the same mind toward one another, according to Messiah יהושע,
6that with one mind and one mouth, you might praise the Elohim and Father of our Master יהושע Messiah.
7So accept one another, as Messiah also did accept us, to the esteem of Elohim.
8And I say that יהושע Messiah has become a servant of the circumcised for the truth of Elohim, to confirm the promises made to the fathers,
9and for the nations to praise Elohim for His compassion, as it has been written, “Because of this I shall confess to You among the nations, and I shall sing to Your Name.”# 2Sam. 22:50; Psa. 18:49
10And again it says, “Rejoice, O nations, with His people!”# Deu. 32:43
11And again, “Praise יהוה, all you nations! Praise Him, all you peoples!”# Psa. 117:1
12And again, Yeshayahu says, “There shall be a root of Yishai, and He who shall rise to reign over the nations, on Him the nations shall set their expectation.”# Isa. 11:10
13And the Elohim of expectation fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you overflow with expectation by the power of the Set-apart Spirit.
14Now I myself am persuaded concerning you, my brothers, that you too are filled with goodness, complete in all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
15But I have written more boldly to you, in part, as reminding you, because of the favour given to me by Elohim,
16to be a servant of יהושע Messiah to the nations, with the priestly duty of bringing the Good News of Elohim, so that the offering of the nations becomes acceptable, set apart by the Set-apart Spirit.
17Therefore I have cause for boasting in Messiah יהושע in the matters pertaining to Elohim.
18For I shall not presume to speak of any matter except what Messiah has worked out through me, in word and deed, to make the nations obedient,
19in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of Elohim, so that from Yerushalayim and round about to Illurikon I have completed the preaching of the Good News of Messiah.
20And so I was ambitious to bring the Good News where Messiah had not been named, lest I should build on another man’s foundation,
21but as it has been written, “To whom it was not announced concerning Him, they shall see, and those that have not heard shall understand.”# Isa. 52:15
22This is why I was often hindered from coming to you.
23But now, no longer having a place in these parts, and having a longing to come to you for many years,
24I shall come to you when I go to Spain. For I expect to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.
25But now I am going to Yerushalayim to serve the set-apart ones.
26For it pleased those from Makedonia and Achaia to make some contribution for the poor among the set-apart ones who are in Yerushalayim.
27For they were pleased, and they are their debtors. For if the nations have shared in their spiritual matters, their duty is also to serve them in material matters.
28Having completed this, then, and having put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I shall return through you to Spain.
29And I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the completeness of the blessing of the Good News of Messiah.
30But I urge you, brothers, through our Master יהושע Messiah, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in prayers for me, unto Elohim,
31that I might be delivered from those in Yehuḏah who do not believe, and that my service for Yerushalayim be well received by the set-apart ones,
32that I might come to you with joy, through the desire of Elohim, and be refreshed together with you.
33And the Elohim of peace be with you all. Amĕn.
