1
We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2
Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.
3
For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me."
4
For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
5
Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,
6
that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7
Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.
8
Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers,
9
and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: "For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name."
10
And again he says: "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!"
11
And again: "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!"
