Romans 15 : 1 (NLT)

We who are strong must be considerate of those who are sensitive about things like this. We must not just please ourselves.

Romans 15 : 2 (NLT)

We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord.

Romans 15 : 3 (NLT)

For even Christ didn't live to please himself. As the Scriptures say, "The insults of those who insult you, O God, have fallen on me."

Romans 15 : 4 (NLT)

Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God's promises to be fulfilled.

Romans 15 : 5 (NLT)

May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus.

Romans 15 : 6 (NLT)

Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 15 : 7 (NLT)

Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory.

Romans 15 : 8 (NLT)

Remember that Christ came as a servant to the Jews to show that God is true to the promises he made to their ancestors.

Romans 15 : 9 (NLT)

He also came so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercies to them. That is what the psalmist meant when he wrote: "For this, I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing praises to your name."

Romans 15 : 10 (NLT)

And in another place it is written, "Rejoice with his people, you Gentiles."

Romans 15 : 11 (NLT)

And yet again, "Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles. Praise him, all you people of the earth."

Romans 15 : 12 (NLT)

And in another place Isaiah said, "The heir to David's throne will come, and he will rule over the Gentiles. They will place their hope on him."

Romans 15 : 13 (NLT)

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15 : 14 (NLT)

I am fully convinced, my dear brothers and sisters, that you are full of goodness. You know these things so well you can teach each other all about them.

Romans 15 : 15 (NLT)

Even so, I have been bold enough to write about some of these points, knowing that all you need is this reminder. For by God's grace,

Romans 15 : 16 (NLT)

I am a special messenger from Christ Jesus to you Gentiles. I bring you the Good News so that I might present you as an acceptable offering to God, made holy by the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15 : 17 (NLT)

So I have reason to be enthusiastic about all Christ Jesus has done through me in my service to God.

Romans 15 : 18 (NLT)

Yet I dare not boast about anything except what Christ has done through me, bringing the Gentiles to God by my message and by the way I worked among them.

Romans 15 : 19 (NLT)

They were convinced by the power of miraculous signs and wonders and by the power of God's Spirit. In this way, I have fully presented the Good News of Christ from Jerusalem all the way to Illyricum.

Romans 15 : 20 (NLT)

My ambition has always been to preach the Good News where the name of Christ has never been heard, rather than where a church has already been started by someone else.

Romans 15 : 21 (NLT)

I have been following the plan spoken of in the Scriptures, where it says, "Those who have never been told about him will see, and those who have never heard of him will understand."

Romans 15 : 22 (NLT)

In fact, my visit to you has been delayed so long because I have been preaching in these places.

Romans 15 : 23 (NLT)

But now I have finished my work in these regions, and after all these long years of waiting, I am eager to visit you.

Romans 15 : 24 (NLT)

I am planning to go to Spain, and when I do, I will stop off in Rome. And after I have enjoyed your fellowship for a little while, you can provide for my journey.

Romans 15 : 25 (NLT)

But before I come, I must go to Jerusalem to take a gift to the believers there.

Romans 15 : 26 (NLT)

For you see, the believers in Macedonia and Achaia have eagerly taken up an offering for the poor among the believers in Jerusalem.

Romans 15 : 27 (NLT)

They were glad to do this because they feel they owe a real debt to them. Since the Gentiles received the spiritual blessings of the Good News from the believers in Jerusalem, they feel the least they can do in return is to help them financially.

Romans 15 : 28 (NLT)

As soon as I have delivered this money and completed this good deed of theirs, I will come to see you on my way to Spain.

Romans 15 : 29 (NLT)

And I am sure that when I come, Christ will richly bless our time together.

Romans 15 : 30 (NLT)

Dear brothers and sisters, I urge you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to join in my struggle by praying to God for me. Do this because of your love for me, given to you by the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15 : 31 (NLT)

Pray that I will be rescued from those in Judea who refuse to obey God. Pray also that the believers there will be willing to accept the donation I am taking to Jerusalem.

Then, by the will of God, I will be able to come to you with a joyful heart, and we will be an encouragement to each other.

Romans 15 : 33 (NLT)

And now may God, who gives us his peace, be with you all. Amen.
