Romans 15:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ Even Christ did not live to please himself. It was as the Scriptures said: “When people insult you, it hurts me.”^{[a] 4} Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that we could have hope. That hope comes from the patience and encouragement that the Scriptures give us. ⁵ Patience and encouragement come from God. And I pray that God will help you all agree with each other the way Christ Jesus wants.
