Romans 15:1-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

15 Now we that are stronger, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

²Let every one of you please his neighbour unto good, to edification.

³For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written: The reproaches of them that reproached thee, fell upon me.

⁴For what things soever were written, were written for our learning: that through patience and the comfort of the scriptures, we might have hope.

⁵Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of one mind one towards another, according to Jesus Christ:

⁶That with one mind, and with one mouth, you may glorify God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷Wherefore receive one another, as Christ also hath received you unto the honour of God.

Romans 15:1-7

New International Version

15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak^(A) and not to please ourselves. ²Each of us should please our neighbors for their good,^(B) to build them up.^(C) ³For even Christ did not please himself^(D) but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”^[a]^(E) ⁴For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us,^(F) so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

⁵May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind^(G) toward each other that Christ Jesus had, ⁶so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify^(H) the God and Father^(I) of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷Accept one another,^(J) then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
