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 neigh­bour 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 what­so­ev­er things were writ­ten afore­time 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 like­mind­ed one to­ward 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 unto 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 unto 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, 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. 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. 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. 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, 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. 17 I have there­fore where­of I may glo­ry 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 round about unto Il­lyricum, I have ful­ly preached the gospel of Christ. 20 Yea, 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, To whom he was not spo­ken of, they shall see: 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 unto you; 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. 25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to min­is­ter unto the saints. 26 For it hath pleased them of Mace­do­nia and Acha­ia to make a cer­tain con­tri­bu­tion for the poor saints which 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 unto them in car­nal things. 28 When there­fore I have per­formed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain. 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. 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 that do not be­lieve in Ju­daea; and that my ser­vice which I have for Jerusalem may be ac­cept­ed of the saints; 32 That I may come unto 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.
