Romans 15
15
1And we ought — we who are strong — to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves;
2for let each one of us please the neighbour for good, unto edification,
3for even the Christ did not please himself, but, according as it hath been written, ‘The reproaches of those reproaching Thee fell upon me;’
4for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.
5And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus;
6that with one accord — with one mouth — ye may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;
7wherefore receive ye one another, according as also the Christ did receive us, to the glory of God.
8And I say Jesus Christ to have become a ministrant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to the fathers,
9and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it hath been written, ‘Because of this I will confess to Thee among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,’
10and again it saith, ‘Rejoice ye nations, with His people;’
11and again, ‘Praise the Lord, all ye nations; and laud Him, all ye peoples;’
12and again, Isaiah saith, ‘There shall be the root of Jesse, and he who is rising to rule nations — upon him shall nations hope;’
13and the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.
14And I am persuaded, my brethren — I myself also — concerning you, that ye yourselves also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also one another to admonish;
15and the more boldly I did write to you, brethren, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God,
16for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God,
18for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,
19in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;
20and so counting it honour to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named — that upon another's foundation I might not build —
21but according as it hath been written, ‘To whom it was not told concerning him, they shall see; and they who have not heard, shall understand.’
22Wherefore, also, I was hindered many times from coming unto you,
23and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having a longing to come unto you for many years,
24when I may go on to Spain I will come unto you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward thither, if of you first, in part, I shall be filled.
25And, now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;
26for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who [are] in Jerusalem;
27for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if in their spiritual things the nations did participate, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.
28This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain;
29and I have known that coming unto you — in the fulness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I shall come.
30And I call upon you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me unto God,
31that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministration, that [is] for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the saints;
32that in joy I may come unto you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you,
33and the God of the peace [be] with you all. Amen.

Romans 15
15
1 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2Let each one of us please his neighbour for that which is good, to be building him up. 3For even Messiah didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”#Psalms 69:9 4For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 5Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Messiah Yeshua, 6that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
7 Therefore accept one another, even as Messiah also accepted you,#15:7 TR reads “us” instead of “you” to the glory of God. 8Now I say that Messiah has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers, 9and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
“Therefore I will give praise to you amongst the Gentiles
and sing to your name.”#2 Samuel 22:50; Psalms 18:49
10 Again he says,
“Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”#Deuteronomy 32:43
11 Again,
“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles!
Let all the peoples praise him.”#Psalms 117:1
12 Again, Isaiah says,
“There will be the root of Jesse,
he who arises to rule over the Gentiles;
in him the Gentiles will hope.”#Isaiah 11:10
13 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.
14 I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers,#15:14 The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others. 15But I write the more boldly to you in part as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God, 16that I should be a servant of Messiah Yeshua 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. 17I have therefore my boasting in Messiah Yeshua in things pertaining to God. 18For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Messiah worked through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed, 19in 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 Messiah; 20yes, making it my aim to proclaim the Good News, not where Messiah was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation. 21But, as it is written,
“They will see, to whom no news of him came.
They who haven’t heard will understand.”#Isaiah 52:15
22 Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you, 23but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you, 24whenever 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. 25But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the holy ones. 26For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor amongst the holy ones who are at Jerusalem. 27Yes, 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. 28When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain. 29I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Messiah.
30 Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Yeshua the Messiah and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me, 31that 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 holy ones, 32that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest. 33Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
