Wethenthat are strongoughtto beartheinfirmitiesof theweak, andnotto pleaseourselves. Letevery oneof usplease his neighborfor his goodtoedification. ForevenChristpleasednothimself: but, asit is written, Thereproachesof them that reproachedtheefellonme. Forwhatsoever thingswere written aforetimewere writtenforourlearning, thatwe throughpatienceandcomfortof theScripturesmight havehope. NowtheGodof patienceandconsolationgrantyouto be likemindedone toward anotheraccordingto ChristJesus: Thatye may with one mindandonemouthglorifyGod, eventhe Fatherof ourLordJesusChrist. Whereforereceiveye one another, asChristalsoreceivedustothe gloryof God. NowI saythat JesusChristwasa ministerof the circumcisionforthe truthof God, to confirmthepromises made unto thefathers: Andthat theGentilesmight glorifyGodfor his mercy; asit is written, For this causeI will confessto theeamongthe Gentiles, andsingunto thyname. Andagainhe saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, withhispeople. Andagain, PraisetheLord, allye Gentiles; andlaudhim, allye people. Andagain, Isaiahsaith, There shall bea rootof Jesse, andhe that shall riseto reign overthe Gentiles; inhimshall the Gentilestrust. NowtheGodof hopefillyouwith alljoyandpeacein believing, that yemay aboundinhope, throughthe powerof the HolyGhost. AndImyselfalsoam persuadedofyou, mybrethren, thatyealsoarefullof goodness, filledwith allknowledge, ablealsoto admonishone another. Nevertheless, brethren, I have writtenthe more boldlyunto youin some sort, asputting you in mind, becauseof thegracethat is givento meofGod, That I shouldbethe ministerof JesusChristtotheGentiles, ministeringthegospelof God, thattheoffering upof theGentilesmight beacceptable, being sanctifiedbythe HolyGhost. I havethereforewhereof I may glorythroughJesusChristin those things which pertainto God. ForI will notdareto speakof anyof those thingswhich Christhath notwroughtbyme, tomake the Gentiles obedient, by wordanddeed, Throughmightysignsandwonders, bythe powerof the Spiritof God; so thatfromJerusalem, andround aboutuntoIllyricum, Ihave fully preachedthegospelof Christ. Yea, sohave I strivedto preach the gospel, notwhereChristwas named, lestI should builduponanother man's foundation: Butasit is written, To whomhe was notspokenof, theyshall see: andtheythat have notheardshall understand. For which causealsoI have been muchhinderedfrom comingtoyou. Butnowhavingno moreplaceintheseparts, andhavinga great desirethesemanyyearsto comeuntoyou; WhensoeverI take my journeyintoSpain, I will cometoyou: forI trustto seeyouin my journey, andto be brought on my waythitherwardbyyou, iffirstI be somewhatfilledwith your company. ButnowI gountoJerusalemto minister untothesaints. Forit hath pleasedthem of MacedoniaandAchaiato makea certaincontributionforthepoorsaintswhichare atJerusalem. It hath pleasedthem verily; andtheirdebtorsthey are. ForiftheGentileshave been made partakersof theirspiritual things, their dutyis alsoto ministerunto themin carnal things. When thereforeI have performedthis, andhave sealedto themthisfruit, I will comebyyouintoSpain. AndI am surethat, when I comeuntoyou, I shall comeinthe fullnessof the blessingof thegospelof Christ. NowI beseechyou, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, andfortheloveof theSpirit, that ye strive together withmeinyour prayerstoGodforme; ThatI may be deliveredfromthem that do not believeinJudea; andthatmyservicewhich I have forJerusalemmay beacceptedof thesaints; ThatI may comeuntoyouwithjoybythe willof God, andmay with yoube refreshed. NowtheGodof peace be withyouall. Amen.
