Please Others, Not Yourselves
Romans 15:1-13
1 We which are strong, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Therefore let every man please his neighbor in that which is good to edification. 3 For Christ also would not please himself, but as it is written, The rebukes of them which rebuke thee, fell on me. 4 For whatsoever things are written aforetime, are written for our learning, that we through patience, and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. 5 Now the God of patience and consolation give you that ye be likeminded one towards another, according to Christ Jesus, 6 That ye with one mind, and with one mouth may praise God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. 8 Now I say, that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision, for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers. 9 And let the Gentiles praise God, for his mercy, as it is written, For this cause I will confess thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy Name. 10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles with his people. 11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and laud ye him, all people together. 12 And again Isaiah saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust. 13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy, and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the holy Ghost.
