Romans 15
American Standard Version
1NowG1161 we that are strongG1415 oughtG3784 to bearG941 the infirmities of the weak, and not to pleaseG700 ourselves. 2Let each oneG1538 of us pleaseG700 his neighbor for that which is goodG18, unto edifying. 3For ChristG5547 alsoG2532 pleasedG700 not himself; but, as it is writtenG1125, The reproachesG3680 of them that reproached thee fell upon me. 4For whatsoever things were writtenG1125 aforetime were writtenG1125 for our learning, that through patience and through comfortG3874 of the scripturesG1124 we might have hopeG1680. 5NowG1161 the GodG2316 of patience and of comfortG3874 grantG1325 you to be of the sameG846 mindG5426 oneG240 with another accordingG2596 to ChristG5547 JesusG2424: 6that with oneG1520 accordG3661 ye may with oneG1520 mouthG4750 glorifyG1392 the GodG2316 and FatherG3962 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 7Wherefore receiveG4355 ye oneG240 another, evenG2532 as ChristG5547 alsoG2532 receivedG4355 you, to the gloryG1391 of GodG2316. 8For I sayG3004 that ChristG5547 hath been made a ministerG1249 of the circumcisionG4061 for the truthG225 of GodG2316, that he might confirmG950 the promisesG1860 given unto the fathersG3962, 9and that the GentilesG1484 might glorifyG1392 GodG2316 for his mercyG1656; as it is writtenG1125,
12And againG3825, IsaiahG2268 saith,
13NowG1161 the GodG2316 of hopeG1680 fillG4137 you with all joyG5479 and peaceG1515 in believingG4100, that ye may aboundG4052 in hopeG1680, in the powerG1411 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.
14And I myself alsoG2532 amG1510 persuadedG3982 of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves areG1510 fullG3324 of goodnessG19, filledG4137 with all knowledgeG1108, ableG1410 alsoG2532 to admonishG3560 oneG240 another. 15But I writeG1125 the more boldly unto you in some measure, as putting you again in remembrance, because of the graceG5485 that was givenG1325 me of GodG2316, 16that I should beG1510 a ministerG3011 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 unto the GentilesG1484, ministering the gospelG2098 of GodG2316, that the offeringG4376 up of the GentilesG1484 might beG1510 made acceptableG2144, beingG1510 sanctifiedG37 by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 17I have thereforeG3767 my glorying in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 in things pertaining to GodG2316. 18For I will not dareG5111 to speakG2980 of any thingsG3739 save those which ChristG5547 wrought through me, for the obedienceG5218 of the GentilesG1484, by wordG3056 and deedG2041, 19in the powerG1411 of signsG4592 and wondersG5059, in the powerG1411 of the Holy SpiritG4151; so that from JerusalemG2419, and round about evenG2532 unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547; 20yea, making it my aim soG2443 to preach the gospel, not whereG3699 ChristG5547 was already named, that I might not buildG3618 upon another man’s foundationG2310; 21but, as it is writtenG1125,
22Wherefore alsoG2532 I was hinderedG1465 these manyG4183 times from comingG2064 to you: 23but nowG1161, having no moreG4183 any placeG5117 in these regionsG2824, and having these manyG4183 yearsG2094 a longing to comeG2064 unto you, 24whensoever I goG4198 unto SpainG4681 (for I hopeG1679 to seeG2300 you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if firstG4413 in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)— 25but nowG1161, I say, I goG4198 unto JerusalemG2419, ministeringG1247 unto the saintsG40. 26For it hath been the good pleasureG2106 of MacedoniaG3109 and AchaiaG882 to makeG4160 a certainG5100 contribution for the poorG4434 among the saintsG40 that are at JerusalemG2419. 27Yea, it hath beenG1510 their good pleasureG2106; and their debtorsG3781 they areG1510. For if the GentilesG1484 have beenG1510 made partakers of their spiritualG4152 things, they oweG3784 it to them alsoG2532 to ministerG3008 unto them in carnal things. 28When thereforeG3767 I have accomplished this, and have sealedG4972 to them this fruitG2590, I will goG565 on by you unto SpainG4681. 29And I know that, when I comeG2064 unto you, I shall comeG2064 in the fulness of the blessingG2129 of ChristG5547.
30NowG1161 I beseech you, brethren, by our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and by the loveG26 of the SpiritG4151, that ye strive together with me in your prayersG4335 to GodG2316 for me; 31that I may be deliveredG4506 from them that are disobedientG544 in Judæa, and that my ministration which I have for JerusalemG2419 may be acceptableG2144 to the saintsG40; 32that I may comeG2064 unto you in joyG5479 through the will of GodG2316, and together with you find rest. 33NowG1161 the GodG2316 of peaceG1515 be with you all. AmenG281.
