we Then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak , And not to please ourselves .
let every one of us please [ his ] neighbour for [ his ] good to edification .
for even Christ pleased not himself ; but , as it Is written , the reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me .
for whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning , that we through patience And comfort of the scriptures might have hope .
now the God of patience And consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus :
that ye may with one mind [ And ] one mouth glorify God , even the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ .
Wherefore receive ye one another , as Christ also received us to the glory of God .
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 :
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 .
And again he saith , Rejoice , ye Gentiles , with his people .
And again , praise the LORD , all ye Gentiles ; And laud him , all ye people .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 ,
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 .
I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God .
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 ,
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 .
yea , So have I strived to preach the gospel , not where Christ was named , lest I should build upon another man's foundation :
but as it Is written , to whom he was not spoken of , they shall see : And they that have not heard shall understand .
for which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you .
but now having no more place in These parts , And having A great desire These Many years to come unto you ;
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 ] .
but now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints .
for it hath pleased them of Macedonia And Achaia to make A certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem .
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 .
when therefore I have performed this , And have sealed to them this fruit , I will come by you into Spain .
And I am sure that , when I come unto you , I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ .
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 ;
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 ;
that I may come unto you with joy by the will of God , And may with you be refreshed .
now the God of peace [ be ] with you all . Amen .
