Romans

Romans 15:2–7

²Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. ³For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.”^a ⁴For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

⁵Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement grant you harmony with one another in Christ Jesus, ⁶so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God.
