45_ROM_15_01 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
45_ROM_15_02 Let every one of us please [his] neighbour for [his] good to edification.
45_ROM_15_03 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
45_ROM_15_04 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
45_ROM_15_05 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
45_ROM_15_06 That ye may with one mind [and] one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
45_ROM_15_07 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
45_ROM_15_08 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises [made] unto the fathers:
45_ROM_15_09 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 unto thy name.
45_ROM_15_10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
45_ROM_15_11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
45_ROM_15_12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
45_ROM_15_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 Ghost.
45_ROM_15_14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
45_ROM_15_15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
45_ROM_15_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 Ghost.
45_ROM_15_17 I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
45_ROM_15_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,
45_ROM_15_19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
45_ROM_15_20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
45_ROM_15_21 But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
45_ROM_15_22 For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
45_ROM_15_23 But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;
45_ROM_15_24 Whensoever 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 be somewhat filled with your [company].
45_ROM_15_25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
45_ROM_15_26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
45_ROM_15_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 unto them in carnal things.
45_ROM_15_28 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
45_ROM_15_29 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
45_ROM_15_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;
45_ROM_15_31 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which [I have] for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
45_ROM_15_32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
45_ROM_15_33 Now the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen.
