akjv - Romans:15-16

akjv@Romans:15:1 @ We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

akjv@Romans:15:2 @ Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification.

akjv@Romans:15:3 @ For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached you fell on me.

akjv@Romans:15:4 @ For whatever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

akjv@Romans:15:5 @ Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like minded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:

akjv@Romans:15:6 @ That you may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

akjv@Romans:15:7 @ Why receive you one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

akjv@Romans:15:8 @ Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers:

akjv@Romans:15:9 @ And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.

akjv@Romans:15:10 @ And again he said, Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.

akjv@Romans:15:11 @ And again, Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; and laud him, all you people.

akjv@Romans:15:12 @ And again, Esaias said, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

akjv@Romans:15:13 @ Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

akjv@Romans:15:14 @ And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brothers, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

akjv@Romans:15:15 @ Nevertheless, brothers, I have written the more boldly to you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,

akjv@Romans:15:16 @ 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.

akjv@Romans:15:17 @ I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.

akjv@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not worked by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,

akjv@Romans:15:19 @ Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about to Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

akjv@Romans:15:20 @ Yes, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man' foundation:

akjv@Romans:15:21 @ But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.

akjv@Romans:15:22 @ For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.

akjv@Romans:15:23 @ But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you;

akjv@Romans:15:24 @ Whenever 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.

akjv@Romans:15:25 @ But now I go to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.

akjv@Romans:15:26 @ For it has pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

akjv@Romans:15:27 @ It has pleased them truly; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in carnal things.

akjv@Romans:15:28 @ When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.

akjv@Romans:15:29 @ And I am sure that, when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

akjv@Romans:15:30 @ Now I beseech you, brothers, for the Lord Jesus Christ' sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

akjv@Romans:15:31 @ 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;

akjv@Romans:15:32 @ That I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

akjv@Romans:15:33 @ Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

akjv@Romans:16:1 @ I commend to you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:

akjv@Romans:16:2 @ That you receive her in the Lord, as becomes saints, and that you assist her in whatever business she has need of you: for she has been a succorer of many, and of myself also.

akjv@Romans:16:3 @ Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:

akjv@Romans:16:4 @ Who have for my life laid down their own necks: to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

akjv@Romans:16:5 @ Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the first fruits of Achaia to Christ.

akjv@Romans:16:6 @ Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us.

akjv@Romans:16:7 @ Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

akjv@Romans:16:8 @ Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.

akjv@Romans:16:9 @ Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

akjv@Romans:16:10 @ Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus'household.

akjv@Romans:16:11 @ Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.

akjv@Romans:16:12 @ Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which labored much in the Lord.

akjv@Romans:16:13 @ Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

akjv@Romans:16:14 @ Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brothers which are with them.

akjv@Romans:16:15 @ Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.

akjv@Romans:16:16 @ Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.

akjv@Romans:16:17 @ Now I beseech you, brothers, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them.

akjv@Romans:16:18 @ For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

akjv@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience is come abroad to all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise to that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

akjv@Romans:16:20 @ And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

akjv@Romans:16:21 @ Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.

akjv@Romans:16:22 @ I Tertius, who wrote this letter, salute you in the Lord.

akjv@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius my host, and of the whole church, salutes you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city salutes you, and Quartus a brother.

akjv@Romans:16:24 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

akjv@Romans:16:25 @ Now to him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

akjv@Romans:16:26 @ But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

akjv@Romans:16:27 @ To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
