Romans Chapter 15

            15:1And we the-ones strong ought to-bear-with the weaknesses of-the-ones not-strong, and not to-please ourselves. 2 Let┘each of-us└try-to-please the/our neighbor unto the good-thing for edification. 3 For [the] Christ also did┘not└please himself, but even-as it-has-been-written, “The insults of-the-ones insulting you fell on me.” 4 For as-many-things-as were-written-beforehand were-written for [the] our instruction, in-order-that through [the] patience and through the encouragement of-the scriptures we-might-have hope. 5 And may┘the God of-[the] patience and [the] encouragement└give you [the] to-be-of-(the) ┘same└mind with one-another according-to Christ Jesus, 6 in-order-that together with one mouth you-may-glorify the God and Father of-the Lord of-us Jesus Christ.

            7 Wherefore accept one-another, even-as also [the] Christ accepted you to (the) glory of-[the] God. 8 For I-say (that) Christ has-become (a) minister of-(the)-circumcision on-behalf-of (the) truth of-God, unto [the] confirming of-the promises of-the fathers, 9 and for-the Gentiles to-glorify [the] God for mercy, even-as it-has-been-written,

                        “On-account-of this I-will-confess you among (the) Gentiles,

                                    and I-will-sing-praise to-the name of-you.”          

10 And again (it says),

                        “Gentiles, rejoice with the people of-him.”

11 And again,

                        “All [the] nations, praise the Lord,

                                    and let┘all the peoples└praise him.”

12 And again Isaiah says,

                        “The/a root of-[the] Jesse will-be,

                                    and the-one arising to-rule (the) Gentiles.

Gentiles will-hope in him.”

13 Now may┘the God of-[the] hope└fill you with-all joy and peace in the/your believing, unto [the] your abounding in [the] hope by (the) power of-(the)-Holy Spirit.

            14 And, my brothers, I myself also have-been-persuaded about you that you yourselves are full of-goodness, having-been-filled with-all [the] knowledge, and able to-admonish one-another. 15 But I-wrote very-boldly to-you from part as reminding you because of the grace [the] given to-me by [the] God 16 unto [the] my being (a) minister of-Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering-as-(a)-priest the gospel of-[the] God, in-order-that the offering of-the Gentiles might-become acceptable, having-been-sanctified by (the) Holy Spirit. 17 So I-have [the] boasting in Christ Jesus with-respect-to-the-things toward [the] God. 18 For I-will┘not└take-it-on-myself to-say anything of-what Christ did┘not└accomplish through me unto (the) obedience of-(the)-Gentiles by-word and by-deed, 19 with (the) power of-signs and wonders, with (the) power of-(the)-Spirit [of-God]ms, so that from Jerusalem and around to [the] Illyricum I have-fulfilled the gospel of-[the] Christ; 20 and in-this-way endeavoring to-preach not where Christ was-named, in-order-that I-might┘not└be-building on another’s foundation, 21 but even-as it-has-been-written,

                        “To-whom it-was┘not└announced about him they-will-see,

                                    and who have┘not└heard will-understand.”

            22 Wherefore also [the] many-times I-was-hindered [the] to-come to you. 23 But now no-longer having (a) place in [the] these regions, but having (a) desire [the] to-come to you from many years, 24 whenever2 I-go to [the] Spain—for I-hope, passing-through, to-see you and to-be-sent-forward by you there if by you first I-am-filled from (a) part. 25 But now I-am-going to-Jerusalem, serving the saints. 26 For Macedonia and Achaia were-pleased to-make (a) certain contribution to the poor of-the saints [the] in Jerusalem. 27 For they-were-pleased and are debtors of-them. For if the Gentiles shared [the] spiritual-things of-them, they┘also└ought to-minister to-them with [the] physical-things. 28 So having-finished this and having-sealed for-them [the] this fruit, I-will-go-away through you into Spain. 29 And I-know that, coming to you, I-will-come in (the) fullness of-(the)-blessing of-Christ.

            30 Now I-urge you, [brothers]ms, by the Lord of-us Jesus Christ and by the love of-the Spirit to-strive-with me in [the] prayers for me to [the] God, 31 in-order-that I-may-be-delivered from the-ones disobeying in [the] Judaea and (that) the ministry of-me [the] in Jerusalem may-be acceptable to-the saints, 32 in-order-that with joy, having-come to you by (the) will of-God I-may-have-a-time-of-rest-with you. 33 Now the God of-[the] peace (be) with all of-you. Amen.
