Romans:15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
We then that are strong ought (
5719 )
to bear (
5721 )
the infirmities of the weak ,
and not to please (
5721 )
ourselves .
*
Let every one of us please (
5720 )
his neighbour for his good to edification .
*
For even Christ pleased (
5656 )
not himself ;
but ,
as it is written (
5769 ),
The reproaches of them that reproached (
5723 )
thee fell (
5627 )
on me .
*
For whatsoever things were written aforetime (
5648 )
were written (
5648 )
for our learning ,
that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have (
5725 )
hope .
*
Now the God of patience and consolation grant (
5630 )
you to be likeminded (
5721 )
one toward another according to Christ Jesus :
*
That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify (
5725 )
God ,
even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ .
*
Wherefore receive ye (
5732 )
one another ,
as #
Christ also received (
5639 )
us to the glory of God .
*
Now I say (
5719 )
that Jesus Christ was (
5771 )
a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God ,
to confirm (
5658 )
the promises made unto the fathers :
*
And that the Gentiles might glorify (
5658 )
God for his mercy ;
as it is written (
5769 ),
For this cause I will confess (
5698 )
to thee among the Gentiles ,
and sing (
5692 )
unto thy name .
*
And again he saith (
5719 ),
Rejoice ,
ye (
5682 )
Gentiles ,
with his people .
*
And again ,
Praise the Lord ,
all ye (
5720 )
Gentiles ;
and laud (
5657 )
him ,
all ye people .
*
And again ,
Esaias saith (
5719 ),
There shall be (
5704 )
a root of Jesse ,
and he that shall rise (
5734 )
to reign over (
5721 )
the Gentiles ;
in him shall the Gentiles trust (
5692 ).
*
Now the God of hope fill (
5659 )
you with all joy and peace in believing (
5721 ),
that ye may abound (
5721 )
in hope ,
through the power of the Holy Ghost .
*
And I myself also am persuaded (
5769 )
of you ,
my brethren ,
that ye also are (
5748 )
full of goodness ,
filled (
5772 )
with all knowledge ,
able (
5740 )
also to admonish (
5721 )
one another .
*
Nevertheless ,
brethren ,
I have written (
5656 )
the more boldly unto you in some sort ,
as putting you in mind (
5723 ),
because of the grace that is given (
5685 )
to me of God ,
*
That I should be (
5750 )
the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles ,
ministering (
5723 )
the gospel of God ,
that the offering up of the Gentiles might be (
5638 )
acceptable ,
being sanctified (
5772 )
by the Holy Ghost .
*
I have (
5719 )
therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God .
*
For I will not dare (
5692 )
to speak (
5721 )
of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought (
5662 )
by me ,
to make the Gentiles obedient ,
by word and deed ,
*
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 (
5760 )
the gospel of Christ .
*
Yea ,
so have I strived (
5740 )
to preach the gospel (
5733 ),
not where Christ was named (
5681 ),
lest I should build (
5725 )
upon another mans foundation :
*
But as it is written (
5769 ),
To whom he was not spoken (
5648 )
of ,
they shall see (
5695 ):
and they that have not heard (
5754 )
shall understand (
5704 ).
*
For which cause also I have been much hindered (
5712 )
from coming (
5629 )
to you .
*
But now having (
5723 )
no more place in these parts ,
and having (
5723 )
a great desire these many years to come (
5629 )
unto you ;
*
Whensoever I take my journey (
5741 )
into Spain ,
I will come (
5695 )
to you :
for I trust (
5719 )
to see (
5664 )
you in my journey (
5740 ),
and to be brought on my way (
5683 )
thitherward by you ,
if first I be somewhat filled (
5686 )
with your company .
*
But now I go (
5736 )
unto Jerusalem to minister (
5723 )
unto the saints .
*
For it hath pleased them (
5656 )
of Macedonia and Achaia to make (
5670 )
a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem .
*
It hath pleased them (
5656 )
verily ;
and their debtors they are (
5748 ).
For if the Gentiles have been made partakers (
5656 )
of their spiritual things ,
their duty is (
5719 )
also to minister (
5658 )
unto them in carnal things .
*
When therefore I have performed (
5660 )
this ,
and have sealed (
5671 )
to them this fruit ,
I will come (
5695 )
by you into Spain .
*
And I am sure (
5758 )
that ,
when I come (
5740 )
unto you ,
I shall come (
5695 )
in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ .
*
Now I beseech (
5719 )
you ,
brethren ,
for the Lord Jesus Christs sake ,
and for the love of the Spirit ,
that ye strive together (
5664 )
with me in your prayers to God for me ;
*
That I may be delivered (
5686 )
from them that do not believe (
5723 )
in Judaea ;
and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be (
5638 )
accepted of the saints ;
*
That I may come (
5632 )
unto you with joy by the will of God ,
and may with you be refreshed (
5667 ).
*
Now the God of peace be with you all .
Amen .
