Romans 15:1-9
1 We who have strong faith should help the weak. We should not please only ourselves. 2 Each of us should please our neighbors. We should do what is good for them in order to build them up.
3 Even Christ did not please himself. It is written, “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.” 4 Everything written in the past was written to teach us. The Scriptures give us strength to go on. They encourage us and give us hope.
5 Our God is a God who strengthens and encourages you. May he give you the same attitude toward one another that Christ Jesus had. 6 Then you can give glory to God with one mind and voice. He is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Christ has accepted you. So accept one another in order to bring praise to God.
8 I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews. He teaches us that God is true. He shows us that God will keep the promises he made to the founders of our nation. 9 Jesus became a servant of the Jews. He did this so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercy.
