drb @Romans:15:1 @Now we that are stronger , ought to bear the infirmities of the weak , and not to please ourselves . drb @Romans:15:2 @Let every one of you please his neighbour unto good , to edification . drb @Romans:15:3 @For Christ did not please himself , but as it is written : The reproaches of them that reproached thee , fell upon me . drb @Romans:15:4 @For what things soever were written , were written for our learning : that through patience and the comfort of the scriptures , we might have hope . drb @Romans:15:5 @Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of one mind one towards another , according to Jesus Christ : drb @Romans:15:6 @That with one mind , and with one mouth , you may glorify God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ . drb @Romans:15:7 @Wherefore receive one another , as Christ also hath received you unto the honour of God . drb @Romans:15:8 @For I say that Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision for the truth of God , to confirm the promises made unto the fathers . drb @Romans:15:9 @But that the Gentiles are to glorify God for his mercy , as it is written : Therefore will I confess to thee , O Lord , among the Gentiles , and will sing to thy name . drb @Romans:15:10 @And again he saith : Rejoice , ye Gentiles , with his people . drb @Romans:15:11 @And again : Praise the Lord , all ye Gentiles ; and magnify him , all ye people . drb @Romans:15:12 @And again Isaias saith : There shall be a root of Jesse ; and he that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles , in him the Gentiles shall hope . drb @Romans:15:13 @Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing ; that you may abound in hope , and in the power of the Holy Ghost . drb @Romans:15:14 @And I myself also , my brethren , am assured of you , that you also are full of love , replenished with all knowledge , so that you are able to admonish one another . drb @Romans:15:15 @But I have written to you , brethren , more boldly in some sort , as it were putting you in mind : because of the grace which is given me from God . drb @Romans:15:16 @That I should be the minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles ; sanctifying the gospel of God , that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and sanctified in the Holy Ghost . drb @Romans:15:17 @I have therefore glory in Christ Jesus towards God . drb @Romans:15:18 @For I dare not to speak of any of those things which Christ worketh not by me , for the obedience of the Gentiles , by word and deed , drb @Romans:15:19 @By the virtue of signs and wonders , in the power of the Holy Ghost , so that from Jerusalem round about as far as unto Illyricum , I have replenished the gospel of Christ drb @Romans:15:20 @And I have so preached this gospel , not where Christ was named , lest I should build upon another man 's foundation . drb @Romans:15:21 @But as it is written : They to whom he was not spoken of , shall see , and they that have not heard shall understand . drb @Romans:15:22 @For which cause also I was hindered very much from coming to you , and have been kept away till now . drb @Romans:15:23 @But now having no more place in these countries , and having a great desire these many years past to come unto you , drb @Romans:15:24 @When I shall begin to take my journey into Spain , I hope that as I pass , I shall see you , and be brought on my way thither by you , if first , in part , I shall have enjoyed you : drb @Romans:15:25 @But now I shall go to Jerusalem , to minister unto the saints . drb @Romans:15:26 @For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a contribution for the poor of the saints that are in Jerusalem . drb @Romans:15:27 @For it hath pleased them ; and they are their debtors . For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things , they ought also in carnal things to minister to them . drb @Romans:15:28 @When therefore I shall have accomplished this , and consigned to them this fruit , I will come by you into Spain . drb @Romans:15:29 @And I know , that when I come to you , I shall come in the abundance of the blessing of the gospel of Christ . drb @Romans:15:30 @I beseech you therefore , brethren , through our Lord Jesus Christ , and by the charity of the Holy Ghost , that you help me in your prayers for me to God , drb @Romans:15:31 @That I may be delivered from the unbelievers that are in Judea , and that the oblation of my service may be acceptable in Jerusalem to the saints . drb @Romans:15:32 @That I may come to you with joy , by the will of God , and may be refreshed with you . drb @Romans:15:33 @Now the God of peace be with you all . Amen .
