Romans 15:13-15

EasyEnglish Bible

¹³ God is the one who causes us to hope for good things. I pray that God will bless you very much. I pray that he will cause you to be happy and to have peace in your minds. He will do this because you believe in him. As a result, God's Holy Spirit will make you strong with his power, so that you hope even more certainly.

Paul's reason for writing this letter

¹⁴ My Christian friends, I myself am completely sure that you are always good. You know everything about God's message, so that you are able to teach one another what is right. ¹⁵ I know that is true, but I still needed to write this letter to you. I have written to you strongly, so that you would remember certain things. Because God is kind, he has chosen me to serve him in this way.
