¹ We then that are stronger ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not please ourselves.

² Let each one of us please [his] neighbour in [that which is] good, unto edification.

³ For the Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of those that reproached thee fell on me.

⁴ For the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction that we, through patient [endurance] and through the comfort of the scriptures, might have hope.

⁵ Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be unanimous among yourselves according to Christ Jesus,

⁶ that ye may with one accord [and] one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷ Therefore bear one another, as the Christ also bore us, to the glory of God.

⁸ Now I say that Christ Jesus, was [a] minister of the circumcision, by the truth of God, to confirm the promises [made] unto the fathers;

⁹ but that the Gentiles glorify God by mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess thee among the Gentiles and sing unto thy name.

¹⁰ And again he says, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.

¹¹ And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and magnify him, all the peoples.

¹² And again, Isaiah says, There shall be a root of Jesse and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles shall wait [for salvation].

¹³ And believing, the God of hope fills you with all joy and peace that ye may abound in hope by the virtue of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁴ But I am convinced regarding you, my brethren, that even without my exhortation ye are full of charity, full of all knowledge, so as to be able to admonish one another.

¹⁵ Nevertheless I have written, brethren, in part boldly, as admonishing you by the grace that is given [to] me of God,

¹⁶ being the minister of Jesus Christ, to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be well pleasing, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷ Therefore I have something to boast of in Christ Jesus, with regard to God.

¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not wrought by me, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, with word and with deed,

¹⁹ with power of signs and wonders, in virtue of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem and round about unto Illyricum, I have filled the entire [area] with the gospel of the Christ.

²⁰ And in this manner I preached this gospel, not where Christ had been named [previously], not to build upon a foundation belonging to another,

²¹ but, as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see, and those that have not heard shall understand.

²² For which reason I have even been hindered many times from coming to you.

²³ But now having more place in these parts and having a great desire these many years to come unto you,

²⁴ when I leave for Spain, I will come unto you; for I trust to see you on my journey and to be taken there by you, if first I may enjoy your company.

²⁵ But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.

²⁶ For it has pleased those of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints who are in Jerusalem.

²⁷ It has pleased them verily, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they should also minister unto them in carnal things.

²⁸ So that, when I have concluded this and have delivered unto them this fruit, I will come by you unto Spain.

²⁹ For I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of the Christ.

³⁰ But I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the charity of the Spirit, that ye help me with prayers to God for me,

³¹ that I may be delivered from the disobedient in Judaea and that the offering of my service to the saints in Jerusalem may be accepted,

³² that I may come unto you with joy by the will of God and may be refreshed together with you.

³³ Now the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen.:
