¹Now we who are able should bear the weaknesses of those who are unable to, and we should not please ourselves. ²Let each one of us please his neighbour in what is right for edification. ³For indeed, Christ did not please himself, but as it stands written: “The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.” ⁴For all the things which were written beforehand were written for our instruction, in order that we might have hope through patience and through the encouragement of the scriptures. ⁵May the God of patience and encouragement give you the same mindset among each other, in accordance with Christ Jesus, ⁶so that you glorify the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ in unanimity and in unison. ⁷On this account, receive each other as Christ also received you, with a view to God's glory. ⁸Now I say that Christ Jesus has become a minister of the circumcision for God's truth, to confirm the promises to the fathers, ⁹and for the Gentiles to glorify God for his mercy, as it stands written: ¹⁰And again he says, ¹¹And again, and, ¹²And again, Isaiah says, ¹³Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you abound in the hope, by the power of holy spirit. ¹⁴And I am convinced, my brothers, I my very self, concerning you, that you yourselves too are full of goodness and are filled with all knowledge, and that you are able also to advise others. ¹⁵Now I have written rather boldly to you, brothers, on occasion, as one reminding you, on account of the grace given to me by God ¹⁶for me to be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, sacredly ministering the gospel of God, in order that the Gentiles' offering might be acceptable, sanctified by holy spirit. ¹⁷So I have exultation in Christ Jesus in respect of matters pertaining to God. ¹⁸For I will not dare to speak of anything other than of the things which Christ accomplished through me in the cause of obedience of the Gentiles in word and deed, ¹⁹by the power of signs and miracles, by the power of God's spirit, so that I have completed the proclamation of the gospel of Christ from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum, ²⁰in this way being particular not to preach the gospel where Christ has been named, so that I do not build on another's foundation, ²¹but as it stands written: ²²And this is also why I was prevented in many ways from coming to you, ²³but now, no longer having an opportunity in these regions, but having had a longing to come to you for many years, ²⁴as soon as I go to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you as I pass through and to be sent on my way there by you, if I may first enjoy your company for a while. ²⁵But now I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints. ²⁶For Macedonia and Achaea were pleased to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. ²⁷For they were pleased, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles had a share in their spiritual benefits, they conversely have a duty to minister to them in material matters. ²⁸So when I have completed this and have sealed the transfer of these proceeds to them, I will depart passing through your way for Spain. ²⁹And I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. ³⁰And I encourage you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the spirit, to jointly strive with me in prayers to God for me, ³¹in order that I may be delivered from those who in Judaea do not believe, and that my ministry in Jerusalem may be well-received by the saints, ³²in order that I may come to you with joy through the will of God and may refresh myself with you. ³³May the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
