ASV_Strong : Romans 15
1. Now[G1161] we[G2249] that are strong[G1415] ought[G3784] to bear[G941] the infirmities[G771] of the weak[G102], and[G2532] not[G3361] to please[G700] ourselves[G1438].
2. Let[G700] each one[G1538] of us[G2257] please[G700] his neighbor[G4139] for[G1519] that which is good[G18], unto[G4314] edifying[G3619].
3. For[G1063] Christ[G5547] also[G2532] pleased[G700] not[G3756] himself[G1438]; but[G235], as[G2531] it is written[G1125], The reproaches[G3680] of them that reproached[G3679] thee[G4571] fell[G1968] upon[G1909] me[G1691].
4. For[G1063] whatsoever things[G3745] were written aforetime were written[G4270] for[G1519] our[G2251] learning[G4270], that[G2443] through[G1223] patience[G5281] and[G2532] through[G1223] comfort[G3874] of the scriptures[G1124] we might have[G2192] hope[G1680].
5. Now[G1161] the God[G2316] of patience[G5281] and[G2532] of comfort[G3874] grant[G1325] you[G5213] to be[G846] of the same mind[G5426] one[G1722] with another[G240] according to[G2596] Christ[G5547] Jesus[G2424]:
6. that[G2443] with one[G1520] accord[G3661] ye may[G1392] with[G1722] one[G1520] mouth[G4750] glorify[G1392] the God[G2316] and Father[G3962] of[G2962] our[G2257] Lord[G2962] Jesus[G2424] Christ[G5547].
7. Wherefore[G1352] receive ye[G4355] one another[G240], even as[G2531] Christ[G5547] also[G2532] received[G4355] you[G2248], to[G1519] the glory[G1391] of God[G2316].
8. For[G1161] I say that[G3004] Christ[G5547] hath[G1096] been[G1096] made a minister[G1249] of the circumcision[G4061] for[G5228] the truth[G225] of God[G2316], that[G1519] he might confirm[G950] the promises[G1860] given unto the fathers[G3962],
9. and[G1161] that[G1392] the Gentiles[G1484] might glorify[G1392] God[G2316] for[G5228] his mercy[G1656]; as[G2531] it is written[G1125], Therefore[G1223, 5124] will I give praise[G1843] unto thee[G4671] among[G1722] the Gentiles[G1484], And[G2532] sing[G5567] unto[G3686] thy[G4675] name[G3686].
10. And[G2532] again[G3825] he saith[G3004], Rejoice[G2165], ye Gentiles[G1484], with[G3326] his[G846] people[G2992].
11. And[G2532] again[G3825], Praise[G134] the Lord[G2962], all[G3956] ye Gentiles[G1484]; And[G2532] let all[G3956] the peoples[G2992] praise[G1867] him[G846].
12. And[G2532] again[G3825], Isaiah[G2268] saith[G3004], There shall be[G2071] the root[G4491] of Jesse[G2421], And[G2532] he that ariseth[G450] to rule over[G757] the Gentiles[G1484]; On[G1909] him[G846] shall[G1679] the Gentiles[G1484] hope[G1679].
13. Now[G1161] the God[G2316] of hope[G1680] fill[G4137] you[G5209] with[G5479] all[G3956] joy[G5479] and[G2532] peace[G1515] in[G1722] believing[G4100], that[G1519] ye[G5209] may abound[G4052] in[G1722] hope[G1680], in[G1722] the power[G1411] of the[G4151] Holy[G40] Spirit[G4151].
14. And[G1161] I[G1473] myself[G846] also[G2532] am persuaded[G3982] of[G4012] you[G5216], my[G3450] brethren[G80], that[G3754] ye[G2075] yourselves are[G2075, 2532] full[G3324] of goodness[G19], filled[G4137] with[G1108] all[G3956] knowledge[G1108], able[G1410] also[G2532] to admonish[G3560] one another[G240].
15. But[G1161, Ruth] I write[G1125] the more boldly[G5112] unto you[G5213] in[G575] some measure[G3313], as[G5613] putting[G1878] you[G5209] again in remembrance[G1878], because of[G1223] the grace[G5485] that was given[G1325] me[G3427] of[G5259] God[G2316],
16. that[G1519] I[G3165] should be[G1511] a minister[G3011] of Christ[G5547] Jesus[G2424] unto[G1519] the Gentiles[G1484], ministering[G2418] the gospel[G2098] of God[G2316], that[G2443] the offering up[G4376] of the Gentiles[G1484] might be[G1096] made acceptable[G2144], being sanctified[G37] by[G1722] the[G4151] Holy[G40] Spirit[G4151].
17. I have[G2192] therefore[G3767] my glorifying[G2746] in[G2746] Christ[G5547] Jesus[G2424] in[G2746] things pertaining[G3588] to[G4314] God[G2316].
18. For[G1063] I will[G5111] not[G3756] dare[G5111] to speak[G2980] of any things[G5100] save those which[G3739] Christ[G5547] wrought[G2716] through[G1223] me[G1700], for the obedience[G5218] of the Gentiles[G1484], by[G1223] word[G3056] and[G2532] deed[G2041],
19. in[G1722] the power[G1411] of signs[G4592] and[G2532] wonders[G5059], in[G1722] the power[G1411] of the Holy[G2316] Spirit[G4151]; so[G5620] that from[G575] Jerusalem[G2419], and[G2532] round about[G2945] even unto[G3360] Illyricum[G2437], I[G3165] have fully preached[G4137] the gospel[G2098] of Christ[G5547];
20. yea[G1161], making it my aim[G5389] so[G3779] to preach the gospel[G2097], not[G3756] where[G3699] Christ[G5547] was already named[G2443], that[G3361] I might not build[G3618] upon[G1909] another man[G245]'s foundation[G2310];
21. but[G235], as[G2531] it is written[G1125], They shall see[G3700], to whom[G3739] no[G3756] tidings[G312] of[G4012] him[G846] came[G312], And[G2532] they[G3739] who have[G191] not[G3756] heard[G191] shall understand[G4920].
22. Wherefore[G1352] also[G2532] I was[G1465] hindered[G1465] these many[G4183] times from coming[G2064] to[G4314] you[G5209]:
23. but[G1161] now[G3570], having[G2192] no more[G3371] any place[G5117] in[G1722] these[G5125] regions[G2824], and[G1161] having[G2192] these[G575] many[G4183] years[G2094] a longing[G1974] to come[G2064] unto[G4314] you[G5209],
24. whensoever[G1437] I go unto[G1519] Spain[G4681] (for[G1063] I hope[G1679] to see[G2300] you[G5209] in my journey[G1279], and[G2532] to be brought on my way[G4311] thitherward[G1563] by[G5259] you[G5209], if[G1437] first[G4412] in some measure I shall have[G1705] been[G3313] satisfied[G1705] with[G575] your company[G5216])—
25. but[G1161] now[G3570], I say[G4198], I go unto[G1519] Jerusalem[G2419], ministering[G1247] unto the saints[G40].
26. For[G1063] it hath been the good pleasure[G2106] of Macedonia[G3109] and[G2532] Achaia[G882] to make[G4160] a[G2842] certain[G5100] contribution[G2842] for[G1519] the poor[G4434] among the saints[G40] that are[G3588] at[G1722] Jerusalem[G2419].
27. Yea[G1063], it hath been their good pleasure[G2106]; and[G2532] their[G846] debtors[G3781] they are[G1526]. For[G1063] if[G1487] the Gentiles[G1484] have been made partakers of[G2841] their[G846] spiritual things[G4152], they owe[G3784] it to them also[G2532] to minister[G3008] unto them[G846] in[G1722] carnal things[G4559].
28. When[G2005] therefore[G3767] I have accomplished[G2005] this[G5124], and[G2532] have sealed[G4972] to them[G846] this[G5126] fruit[G2590], I will go[G565] on by[G1223] you[G5216] unto[G1519] Spain[G4681].
29. And[G1161] I know[G1492] that[G3754], when I come[G2064] unto[G4314] you[G5209], I shall come[G2064] in[G1722] the fulness[G4138] of the blessing[G2129] of Christ[G5547].
30. Now[G1161] I beseech[G3870] you[G5209], brethren[G80], by[G1223] our Lord[G2962] Jesus[G2424] Christ[G5547], and[G2532] by[G1223] the[G1223] love[G26] of the Spirit[G4151], that ye strive together[G4865] with me[G3427] in[G1722] your prayers[G4335] to[G4314] God[G2316] for[G5228] me[G1700];
31. that[G2443] I may be delivered[G4506] from[G575] them that are disobedient[G544] in[G1722] Judaea[G2449], and[G2532] that[G2443] my[G3450] ministration[G1248] which[G3588] I have for[G1519] Jerusalem[G2419] may be[G1096] acceptable[G2144] to the saints[G40];
32. that[G2443] I may come[G2064] unto[G4314] you[G5209] in[G1722] joy[G5479] through[G1223] the will[G2307] of God[G2316], and[G2532] together with[G4875] you[G5213] find rest[G4875].
33. Now[G1161] the God[G2316] of peace[G1515] be with[G3326] you[G5216] all[G3956]. Amen[G281].
