Romans:15-16
mkjv@Romans:15:1 @ Then we who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
mkjv@Romans:15:2 @ Let every one of us please [his] neighbor for [his] good, to building up.
mkjv@Romans:15:3 @ For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.
mkjv@Romans:15:4 @ For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, so that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
mkjv@Romans:15:5 @ And may the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like minded toward one another according to Christ Jesus,
mkjv@Romans:15:6 @ so that with one mind [and] one mouth you may glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
mkjv@Romans:15:7 @ Therefore receive one another as Christ also received us, to [the] glory of God.
mkjv@Romans:15:8 @ And I say, Jesus Christ has become a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises [made] to the fathers,
mkjv@Romans:15:9 @ and that the nations might glorify God for [His] mercy, as it is written, For this cause I will confess to You in the nations, and I will praise Your name.
mkjv@Romans:15:10 @ And again He says, Rejoice, O nations, with His people.
mkjv@Romans:15:11 @ And again, Praise the Lord, all the nations, and praise Him, all the peoples.
mkjv@Romans:15:12 @ And again Isaiah says, There shall be a root of Jesse, and He who shall rise to reign over the nations, in Him shall the nations trust.
mkjv@Romans:15:13 @ And may 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 Spirit.
mkjv@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.
mkjv@Romans:15:15 @ But, brothers, I wrote to you boldly, as reminding you in part, because of the grace that is given to me by God,
mkjv@Romans:15:16 @ that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the nations, ministering the gospel of God, so that the offering up of the nations might be acceptable, being sanctified by [the] Holy Spirit.
mkjv@Romans:15:17 @ Therefore I have boasting in Christ Jesus [as to] the things pertaining to God.
mkjv@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ did not work out by me for [the] obedience of the nations in word and deed,
mkjv@Romans:15:19 @ in power of miracles and wonders, in power of [the] Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem, and all around to Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
mkjv@Romans:15:20 @ Yea, so I have been eager to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man's foundation;
mkjv@Romans:15:21 @ but as it is written, To whom nothing was said about Him, they shall see. And they who have not heard shall understand.
mkjv@Romans:15:22 @ For this cause I also have been greatly hindered from coming to you.
mkjv@Romans:15:23 @ But now, having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you,
mkjv@Romans:15:24 @ whenever I may go into Spain, I will come to you. For [in] traveling through I hope to see you, and to be set forward there by you, if first I may be filled of you in part.
mkjv@Romans:15:25 @ But now I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.
mkjv@Romans:15:26 @ For it has pleased those of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints in Jerusalem.
mkjv@Romans:15:27 @ Truly it has pleased them, and they are their debtors. For if the nations have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in fleshly things.
mkjv@Romans:15:28 @ Therefore when I have completed this, and have sealed this fruit to them, I will come by you into Spain.
mkjv@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.
mkjv@Romans:15:30 @ But I exhort you, brothers, for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ and for the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in [your] prayers to God for me,
mkjv@Romans:15:31 @ that I may be delivered from those disbelieving in Judea, and that my service which [I have] for Jerusalem may be accepted by the saints;
mkjv@Romans:15:32 @ so that [I may] come to you with joy by [the] will of God, and may be refreshed with you.
mkjv@Romans:15:33 @ Now may the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen.
mkjv@Romans:16:1 @ I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,
mkjv@Romans:16:2 @ that you receive her in [the] Lord, [as] becomes saints, and that you may assist her in whatever business she has need of you. For she has been a helper of many, and of myself also.
mkjv@Romans:16:3 @ Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my helpers in Christ Jesus,
mkjv@Romans:16:4 @ who have laid down their own necks for my life; to whom not only I give thanks, but also the churches of the nations.
mkjv@Romans:16:5 @ Likewise [greet] the church that is in their house. Greet my beloved Epenetus, who is the first-fruits of Achaia to Christ.
mkjv@Romans:16:6 @ Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us.
mkjv@Romans:16:7 @ Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
mkjv@Romans:16:8 @ Greet Amplias my beloved in [the] Lord.
mkjv@Romans:16:9 @ Greet Urbanus, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
mkjv@Romans:16:10 @ Greet Apelles, approved in Christ. Greet those who are of Aristobulus' [household].
mkjv@Romans:16:11 @ Greet Herodion my kinsman. Greet those who are of the [household] of Narcissus, who are in [the] Lord.
mkjv@Romans:16:12 @ Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labor in [the] Lord. Greet the beloved Persis, who labored much in [the] Lord.
mkjv@Romans:16:13 @ Greet Rufus, chosen in [the] Lord, and his mother and mine.
mkjv@Romans:16:14 @ Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brothers with them.
mkjv@Romans:16:15 @ Greet Philologus and Julias, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them.
mkjv@Romans:16:16 @ Greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you.
mkjv@Romans:16:17 @ And I exhort you, brothers, to watch those making divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them.
mkjv@Romans:16:18 @ For they who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches [they] deceive the hearts of the simple.
mkjv@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience reached to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf, But I would have you truly wise [as] to good, and simple toward evil.
mkjv@Romans:16:20 @ And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen.
mkjv@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy my fellow worker, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater my kinsmen, greet you.
mkjv@Romans:16:22 @ I, Tertius, who wrote [this] epistle, greet you in [the] Lord.
mkjv@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius my host, and the host of me and the whole church, greets you. Erastus the steward of the city greets you, and Quartus a brother.
mkjv@Romans:16:24 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
mkjv@Romans:16:25 @ Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of [the] mystery, having been unvoiced during eternal times;
mkjv@Romans:16:26 @ but now has been made plain, and by the prophetic Scriptures, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith;
mkjv@Romans:16:27 @ to God only wise [be] glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.
