Romans 15
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
1 Ref Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Ref Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, unto edifying.
3 Ref For Christ also pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me.
4 Ref For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that through patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope.
5 Ref Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus:
6 Ref that with one accord ye may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Ref Wherefore receive ye one another, even as Christ also received you, to the glory of God.
8 Ref For I say that Christ hath been made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises `given' unto the fathers,
9 Ref and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, Therefore will I give praise unto thee among the Gentiles, And sing unto thy name.
10 Ref And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
11 Ref And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; And let all the peoples praise him.
12 Ref And again, Isaiah saith, There shall be the root of Jesse, And he that ariseth to rule over the Gentiles; On him shall the Gentiles hope.
13 Ref Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 Ref And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
15 Ref But I write the more boldly unto you in some measure, as putting you again in remembrance, because of the grace that was given me of God,
16 Ref that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus unto the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 Ref I have therefore my glorifying in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.
18 Ref For I will not dare to speak of any things save those which Christ wrought through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
19 Ref in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and round about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ;
20 Ref yea, making it my aim so to preach the gospel, not where Christ was `already' named, that I might not build upon another man's foundation;
21 Ref but, as it is written, They shall see, to whom no tidings of him came, And they who have not heard shall understand.
22 Ref Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you:
23 Ref but now, having no more any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come unto you,
24 Ref whensoever I go unto Spain (for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)--
25 Ref but now, I `say', I go unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints.
26 Ref For it hath been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints that are at Jerusalem.
27 Ref Yea, it hath been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it `to them' also to minister unto them in carnal things.
28 Ref When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by you unto Spain.
29 Ref And I know that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ.
30 Ref Now I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
31 Ref that I may be delivered from them that are disobedient in Judaea, and `that' my ministration which `I have' for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;
32 Ref that I may come unto you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 Ref And we ought -- we who are strong -- to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves;
2 Ref for let each one of us please the neighbor for good, unto edification,
3 Ref for even the Christ did not please himself, but, according as it hath been written, `The reproaches of those reproaching Thee fell upon me;'
4 Ref for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.
5 Ref And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus;
6 Ref that with one accord -- with one mouth -- ye may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;
7 Ref wherefore receive ye one another, according as also the Christ did receive us, to the glory of God.
8 Ref And I say Jesus Christ to have become a ministrant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to the fathers,
9 Ref and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it hath been written, `Because of this I will confess to Thee among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,'
10 Ref and again it saith, `Rejoice ye nations, with His people;'
11 Ref and again, `Praise the Lord, all ye nations; and laud Him, all ye peoples;'
12 Ref and again, Isaiah saith, `There shall be the root of Jesse, and he who is rising to rule nations -- upon him shall nations hope;'
13 Ref and the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.
14 Ref And I am persuaded, my brethren -- I myself also -- concerning you, that ye yourselves also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also one another to admonish;
15 Ref and the more boldly I did write to you, brethren, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God,
16 Ref for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 Ref I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God,
18 Ref for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,
19 Ref in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;
20 Ref and so counting it honour to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named -- that upon another's foundation I might not build --
21 Ref but according as it hath been written, `To whom it was not told concerning him, they shall see; and they who have not heard, shall understand.'
22 Ref Wherefore, also, I was hindered many times from coming unto you,
23 Ref and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having a longing to come unto you for many years,
24 Ref when I may go on to Spain I will come unto you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward thither, if of you first, in part, I shall be filled.
25 Ref And, now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;
26 Ref for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who `are' in Jerusalem;
27 Ref for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if in their spiritual things the nations did participate, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.
28 Ref This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain;
29 Ref and I have known that coming unto you -- in the fulness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I shall come.
30 Ref And I call upon you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me unto God,
31 Ref that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministration, that `is' for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the saints;
32 Ref that in joy I may come unto you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you,
