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.

Romans 15
15
1 But we who are stronger must bear with the feebleness of the weak, and not so as to please ourselves.
2 Each one of you should please his neighbor unto good, for edification.
3 For even Christ did not please himself, but as it was written: "The reproaches of those who reproached you fell upon me."
4 For whatever was written, was written to teach us, so that, through patience and the consolation of the Scriptures, we might have hope.
5 So may the God of patience and solace grant you to be of one mind toward one another, in accord with Jesus Christ,
6 so that, together with one mouth, you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 For this reason, accept one another, just as Christ also has accepted you, in the honor of God.
8 For I declare that Christ Jesus was the minister of circumcision because of the truth of God, so as to confirm the promises to the fathers,
9 and that the Gentiles are to honor God because of his mercy, just as it was written: "Because of this, I will confess you among the Gentiles, O Lord, and I will sing to your name."
10 And again, he says: "Rejoice, O Gentiles, along with his people."
11 And again: "All Gentiles, praise the Lord; and all peoples, magnify him."
12 And again, Isaiah says: "There shall be a root of Jesse, and he shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, and in him the Gentiles shall hope."
13 So may the God of hope fill you with every joy and with peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope and in the virtue of the Holy Spirit.
14 But I am also certain about you, my brothers, that you also have been filled with love, completed with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish one another.
15 But I have written to you, brothers, more boldly than to the others, as if calling you to mind again, because of the grace which has been given to me from God,
16 so that I may be a minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles, sanctifying the Gospel of God, in order that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and may be sanctified in the Holy Spirit.
17 Therefore, I have glory in Christ Jesus before God.
18 So I dare not speak of any of those things which Christ does not effect through me, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and deed,
19 with the power of signs and wonders, by power of the Holy Spirit. For in this way, from Jerusalem, throughout its surroundings, as far as Illyricum, I have replenished the Gospel of Christ.
20 And so I have preached this Gospel, not where Christ was known by name, lest I build upon the foundation of another,
21 but just as it was written: "Those to whom he was not announced shall perceive, and those who have not heard shall understand."
22 Because of this also, I was greatly hindered in coming to you, and I have been prevented until the present time.
23 Yet truly now, having no other destination in these regions, and having already had a great desire to come to you over the past many years,
24 when I begin to set out on my journey to Spain, I hope that, as I pass by, I may see you, and I may be guided from there by you, after first having borne some fruit among you.
25 But next I will set out for Jerusalem, to minister to the saints.
26 For those of Macedonia and Achaia have decided to make a collection for those of the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.
27 And this has pleased them, because they are in their debt. For, since the Gentiles have become partakers of their spiritual things, they also ought to minister to them in worldly things.
28 Therefore, when I have completed this task, and have consigned to them this fruit, I shall set out, by way of you, to Spain.
29 And I know that when I come to you I shall arrive with an abundance of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ.
30 Therefore, I beg you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and though the love of the Holy Spirit, that you assist me with your prayers to God on my behalf,
31 so that I may be freed from the unfaithful who are in Judea, and so that the oblation of my service may be acceptable to the saints in Jerusalem.
32 So may I come to you with joy, through the will of God, and so may I be refreshed with you.
33 And may the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
