RSV ~ Romans 15 v1 - 6

Rom 15:1-6 | Please Others, Not Yourselves

1 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves;

2 let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to edify him.

3 For Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”

4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

5 May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus,

6 that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
