Context of Romans 15:5

3For the Christ also did not please himself; but according as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me. 4For as many things as have been written before have been written for our instruction, that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope. Now the God of endurance and of encouragement give to you to be like-minded one toward another, according to Christ Jesus; 6that ye may with one accord, with one mouth, glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7Wherefore receive ye one another, according as the Christ also has received you to [the] glory of God.
