Bearing the Weaknesses of Others

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:1 -

Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves.

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:2 - Each of us is to please his neighbor [fn]for his good, to his building up.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:3 - For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “THE REPROACHES OF THOSE WHO REPROACHED YOU FELL ON ME.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:4 - For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through the perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:5 - Now may the God of perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:6 - so that with one accord you may with one [fn]voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ, the Hope of Jews and Gentiles

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:7 -

Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted [fn]us to the glory of God.

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:8 - For I say that Christ has become a servant to the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God to confirm the promises given to the fathers,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:9 - and for the Gentiles to glorify God for His mercy; as it is written,

“THEREFORE I WILL [fn]GIVE PRAISE TO YOU AMONG THE GENTILES,

AND I WILL SING TO YOUR NAME.”

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:10 -

And again he says,

“REJOICE, O GENTILES, WITH HIS PEOPLE.”

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:11 -

And again,

“PRAISE THE [fn]LORD ALL YOU GENTILES,

AND LET ALL THE PEOPLES PRAISE HIM.”

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:12 -

And again Isaiah says,

“THERE SHALL COME THE ROOT OF JESSE,

AND HE WHO ARISES TO RULE OVER THE GENTILES,

IN HIM SHALL THE GENTILES HOPE.”

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:13 -

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Paul’s Ministry Plans

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:14 -

But I myself am also convinced about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge and being able also to admonish one another.

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:15 - But I have written very boldly to you on some points so as to remind you again, because of the grace that was given me [fn]by God
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:16 - for me to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the gospel of God, so that my offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, having been sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:17 - Therefore in Christ Jesus I have reason for boasting in things pertaining to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:18 - For I will not be bold to speak of anything [fn]except what Christ has brought about through me, [fn]leading to the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:19 - in the power of [fn]signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and all around as far as Illyricum I have [fn]fully preached the gospel of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:20 - And in this way I make it my ambition to proclaim the gospel, not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build on another man’s foundation;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:21 - but as it is written,

“THEY WHO HAD NO DECLARATION OF HIM SHALL SEE,

AND THEY WHO HAVE NOT HEARD SHALL UNDERSTAND.”
