Romans 15:3-5

New Life Version

³ Even Christ did not please Himself. The Holy Writings say, “The sharp words spoken against you fell on Me.” ^{(A) 4} Everything that was written in the Holy Writings long ago was written to teach us. By not giving up, God’s Word gives us strength and hope. ⁵ Now the God Who helps you not to give up and gives you strength will help you think so you can please each other as Christ Jesus did.
