\subsection{Romans 15}
|
|
\VS{1} So we, the able, ought to be bearing the weaknesses of the unable, and not
|
|
to be pleasing ourselves.
|
|
\VS{2} Let\fnImperative{} each of us be
|
|
pleasing his neighbor for the good towards building [him] up.
|
|
\VS{3} For even the
|
|
Christ did not please himself, but just as it is written:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
The reproaches of those reproaching you fell upon me.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{4} For as much as [this] was written beforehand, it was written for our
|
|
instruction, in order that through endurance and through the exhortation of
|
|
the scriptures we may have hope
|
|
\VS{5} May the God of endurance and of the
|
|
exhortation give to you to be like-minded with one another according to
|
|
[the] Christ Jesus,
|
|
\VS{6} in order that with one mind [and] with one mouth you
|
|
glorify the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
|
|
\VS{7} Therefore
|
|
receive one another, just as the Christ also received us into [the] glory of God.
|
|
\VS{8} For I say that [the] Christ became [a] servant of circumcision in behalf of
|
|
the truth of God, to confirm the promise [made] to the fathers,
|
|
\VS{9} and that
|
|
the nations [may] glorify God for [his] mercy, just as it is written:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
For this reason I will confess to you among the nations \\
|
|
And to your name will I sing praise.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{10} And again he says:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Rejoice, O nations, with his people
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{11} And again:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Be praising the Lord, all [you] nations \\
|
|
And let\fnImperative{} all the peoples praise him.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{12} And again Isaiah says:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
There will be the root of Jesse \\
|
|
And the [one] rising to be ruling [the] nations, \\
|
|
Upon him will the nations hope.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{13} Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing,
|
|
that you may abound in the hope in [the] power of [the] Holy Spirit.
|
|
\VS{14} Indeed I
|
|
myself am persuaded concerning you, my brothers, that you yourselves are
|
|
full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to be admonishing one
|
|
another.
|
|
\VS{15} But I wrote to you more boldly on some points, as reminding
|
|
you, because of the grace given to me from God,
|
|
\VS{16} that I be [a] minister
|
|
of Christ Jesus to the nations, ministering the good-news of God, in order
|
|
that the offering of the nations become acceptable, made holy by the Holy
|
|
Spirit.
|
|
\VS{17} I have therefore [a] boast in Christ Jesus with respect to the
|
|
[things] towards God.
|
|
\VS{18} For I will not dare to be speaking of what Christ has
|
|
not worked through me, to make the nations obedient, in word and work,
|
|
\VS{19} in [the] power of signs and wonders, in [the] power of [the] spirit, so that from
|
|
Jerusalem and round until Illyrika I have made full the good-news of Christ.
|
|
\VS{20} Thus I strive to be good-newsing not where Christ has been named, in
|
|
order that I not build upon another's foundation,
|
|
\VS{21} but just as it is
|
|
written:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
To whom has not been reported concerning him, \\
|
|
They will see, \\
|
|
And those who have not heard will understand.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{22} For which cause I also have been often hindered from coming to you,
|
|
\VS{23} but now no longer having place in these districts, but having
|
|
longing to come to you for many years,
|
|
\VS{24} when I go to Spain, [I will come to you]. For I
|
|
hope, going through, to see you and to be helped on my way by you there, if
|
|
first I be filled in part by your [company],
|
|
\VS{25} but now I go to Jerusalem serving the holy [ones].
|
|
\VS{26} For [those of] Macedonia and Achaia have considered it good
|
|
to make some contribution\footnote{from FELLOWSHIP} for the poor of the holy
|
|
[ones] in Jerusalem.
|
|
\VS{27} For they considered it good, and they are their
|
|
debtors. For if the nations have been made partners in their spiritual
|
|
[things], they ought also in the fleshly [things] to be ministering to them.
|
|
\VS{28}
|
|
Therefore having completed this, and having sealed to them this fruit, I
|
|
will come through you to Spain.
|
|
\VS{29} And I know that coming to you in
|
|
[the] fullness of blessing Christ will I come.
|
|
\VS{30} I call upon you, brothers,
|
|
through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the agape-love of the spirit, to
|
|
struggle with me in prayers in my behalf to God,
|
|
\VS{31} in order that I be
|
|
delivered from the disobedient [ones] in Judea and my service in Jerusalem become
|
|
acceptable to the holy [ones],
|
|
\VS{32} in order that, coming to you in joy through
|
|
the wish of God, I find rest with you.
|
|
\VS{33} So the God of peace
|
|
[be]\footnote{or ``[is]''} with you all, Amen.
