Chapter 15

¹ NOW we that are stronger, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
² Let every one of you please his neighbour unto good, to edification.
³ For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written: The reproaches of them that reproached thee, fell upon me.
⁴ For what things soever were written, were written for our learning: that through patience and the comfort of the scriptures, we might have hope.
⁵ Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of one mind one towards another, according to Jesus Christ:
⁶ That with one mind, and with one mouth, you may glorify God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
⁷ Wherefore receive one another, as Christ also hath received you unto the honour of God.
⁸ For I say that Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.
⁹ 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.
¹⁰ And again he saith: Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
¹¹ And again: Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and magnify him, all ye people.
¹² 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.
¹³ 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.
¹⁴ 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.
¹⁵ 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.
¹⁶ 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.
¹⁷ I have therefore glory in Christ Jesus towards God.
¹⁸ 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,
¹⁹ 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.
²⁰ And I have so preached this gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation.
²¹ But as it is written: They to whom he was not spoken of, shall see, and they that have not heard shall understand.
²² For which cause also I was hindered very much from coming to you, and have been kept away till now.
²³ But now having no more place in these countries, and having a great desire these many years past to come unto you,
²⁴ When I shall begin to take my journey into Spain, I hope that as I pass, I shall see you, and be brought on my way thither by you, if first, in part, I shall have enjoyed you:
²⁵ But now I shall go to Jerusalem, to minister unto the saints.
²⁶ For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a contribution for the poor of the saints that are in Jerusalem.
²⁷ For it hath pleased them; and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they ought also in carnal things to minister to them.
²⁸ When therefore I shall have accomplished this, and consigned to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
²⁹ And I know, that when I come to you, I shall come in the abundance of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
³⁰ I beseech you therefore, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the charity of the Holy Ghost, that you help me in your prayers for me to God,
³¹ That I may be delivered from the unbelievers that are in Judea, and that the oblation of my service may be acceptable in Jerusalem to the saints.
³² That I may come to you with joy, by the will of God, and may be refreshed with you.
³³ Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Chapter 15

¹ We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
² Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification.
³ For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
⁴ For whatever things were written formerly, were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
⁵ Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like-minded one towards another according to Christ Jesus:
⁶ That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
⁷ Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
⁸ Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers:
⁹ And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name.
¹⁰ And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
¹¹ And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
¹² And again Isaiah saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
¹³ Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
¹⁴ And I myself also am persuaded concerning you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
¹⁵ Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly to you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me from God.
¹⁶ That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
¹⁷ I have therefore cause for glorying through Jesus Christ, in those things which pertain to God.
¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
¹⁹ Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and around to Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
²⁰ And so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
²¹ But as it is written, They shall see to whom he was not spoken of: and they that have not heard shall understand.
²² For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
²³ But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you;
²⁴ Whenever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I shall be somewhat filled with your company.
²⁵ But now I go to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.
²⁶ For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who are at Jerusalem.
²⁷ It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in carnal things.
²⁸ When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go by you into Spain.
²⁹ And I am sure that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
³⁰ Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
³¹ That I may be delivered from them in Judea who do not believe; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem, may be acceptable to the saints;
³² That I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
³³ Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Chapter 15

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

Chapter 15

¹ But *we* ought, we that are strong, to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
² Let each one of us please his neighbour with a view to what is good, to edification.
³ 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.
⁴ 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.
⁵ Now the God of endurance and of encouragement give to you to be like-minded one toward another, according to Christ Jesus;
⁶ that ye may with one accord, with one mouth, glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
⁷ Wherefore receive ye one another, according as the Christ also has received you to [the] glory of God.
⁸ For I say that Jesus Christ became a minister of [the] circumcision for [the] truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers;
⁹ 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.
¹⁰ And again he says, Rejoice, nations, with his people.
¹¹ And again, Praise the Lord, all [ye] nations, and let all the peoples laud him.
¹² And again, Esaias says, There shall be the root of Jesse, and one that arises, to rule over [the] nations: in him shall [the] nations hope.
¹³ Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that ye should abound in hope by [the] power of [the] Holy Spirit.
¹⁴ But I am persuaded, my brethren, I myself also, concerning you, that yourselves also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
¹⁵ 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,
¹⁶ 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.
¹⁷ I have therefore [whereof to] boast in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God.
¹⁸ 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,
¹⁹ 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;
²⁰ and so aiming to announce the glad tidings, not where Christ has been named, that I might not build upon another's foundation;
²¹ but according as it is written, To whom there was nothing told concerning him, they shall see; and they that have not heard shall understand.
²² Wherefore also I have been often hindered from coming to you.
²³ But now, having no longer place in these regions, and having great desire to come to you these many years,
²⁴ whenever I should go to Spain; (for I hope to see you as I go through, and by you to be set forward thither, if first I shall have been in part filled with your company;)
²⁵ but now I go to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;
²⁶ for Macedonia and Achaia have been well pleased to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who [are] in Jerusalem.
²⁷ They have been well pleased indeed, and they are their debtors; for if the nations have participated in their spiritual things, they ought also in fleshly to minister to them.
²⁸ Having finished this therefore, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will set off by you into Spain.
²⁹ But I know that, coming to you, I shall come in [the] fulness of [the] blessing of Christ.
³⁰ But I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in prayers for me to God;
³¹ that I may be saved from those that do not believe in Judaea; and that my ministry which [I have] for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;
³² in order that I may come to you in joy by God's will, and that I may be refreshed with you.
³³ And the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

¹⁴ And 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.

¹⁶ that 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 Spirit.
¹⁷ I have therefore my glorifying in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.
¹⁸ For 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,
¹⁹ in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and round about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ;
²⁰ yea, 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;
²¹ but, as it is written, They shall see, to whom no tidings of him came, And they who have not heard shall understand.
²² Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you:
²³ but now, having no more any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come unto you,
²⁴ whensoever 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)--
²⁵ but now, I [say], I go unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints.
²⁶ For 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.
²⁷ Yea, 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.
²⁸ When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by you unto Spain.

Chapter 15

¹ We who are strong have to be a support to the feeble, and not give pleasure to ourselves.
² Let every one of us give pleasure to his neighbour for his good, to make him strong.
³ For Christ did not give pleasure to himself, but, as it is said, The bitter words of those who were angry with you came on me.
⁴ Now those things which were put down in writing before our time were for our learning, so that through quiet waiting and through the comfort of the holy Writings we might have hope.
⁵ Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus:
⁶ So that with one mouth you may give glory to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
⁷ So then, take one another to your hearts, as Christ took us, to the glory of God.
⁸ Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision to give effect to the undertakings given by God to the fathers,
⁹ And so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercy; as it is said, For this reason I will give praise to you among the Gentiles, and I will make a song to your name.
¹⁰ And again he says, Take part, you Gentiles, in the joy of his people.
¹¹ And again, Give praise to the Lord, all you Gentiles; and let all the nations give praise to him.
¹² And again Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who comes to be the ruler over the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles put their hope.
¹³ Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.
¹⁴ And I myself am certain of you, brothers, that you are full of what is good, complete in all knowledge, able to give direction to one another.
¹⁵ But I have, in some measure, less fear in writing to you to put these things before you again, because of the grace which was given to me by God,
¹⁶ To be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, doing the work of a priest in the good news of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles might be pleasing to God, being made holy by the Holy Spirit.
¹⁷ So I have pride in Christ Jesus in the things which are God's.
¹⁸ And I will keep myself from talking of anything but those things which Christ has done by me to put the Gentiles under his rule in word and in act,
¹⁹ By signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have given all the good news of Christ;
²⁰ Making it my purpose not to take the good news where Christ was named, so that my work might not be resting on that of others;
²¹ But as it is said in the holy Writings, They will see, to whom the news of him had not been given, and those to whose ears it had not come will have knowledge.
²² For which reason I was frequently kept from coming to you:
²³ But now, having no longer any place in these parts and having had for a number of years a great desire to come to you,
²⁴ Whenever I go to Spain (for it is my hope to see you on my way, and to be sent on there by you, if first I may in some measure have been comforted by your company)--
²⁵ But now I go to Jerusalem, taking help for the saints.
²⁶ For it has been the good pleasure of those of Macedonia and Achaia to send a certain amount of money for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem.
²⁷ Yes, it has been their good pleasure; and they are in their debt. For if the Gentiles have had a part in the things of the Spirit which were theirs, it is right for them, in the same way, to give them help in the things of the flesh.
²⁸ So when I have done this, and have given them this fruit of love, I will go on by you into Spain.
²⁹ And I am certain that when I come, I will be full of the blessing of Christ.
³⁰ Now I make request to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you will be working together with me in your prayers to God for me;
³¹ So that I may be kept safe from those in Judaea who have not put themselves under the rule of God, and that the help which I am taking for Jerusalem may be pleasing to the saints;
³² So that I may come to you in joy by the good pleasure of God, and have rest with you.
³³ Now may the God of peace be with you all. So be it.
