Context of Romans 15:5

3For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The taunts of those who taunt You have fallen on Me.” 4For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another, according to Christ Jesus, 6so that with one purpose and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us, for the glory of God.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5Now the God of patience and consolation - May that God who endued them with patience, and gave them the consolation that supported them in all their trials and afflictions, grant you to be like-minded - give you the same mode of thinking, and the same power of acting towards each other, according to the example of Christ.Read the comment
