Please Others, Not Yourselves (ROM 15:1-6)

[15:1] We who are strong in the faith ought to help the weak to carry their burdens. We should not please ourselves.

[15:2] Instead, we should all please other believers for their own good, in order to build them up in the faith.

[15:3] For Christ did not please himself. Instead, as the scripture says, “The insults which are hurled at you have fallen on me.”

[15:4] Everything written in the Scriptures was written to teach us, in order that we might have hope through the patience and encouragement which the Scriptures give us.

[15:5] And may God, the source of patience and encouragement, enable you to have the same point of view among yourselves by following the example of Christ Jesus,

[15:6] so that all of you together may praise with one voice the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
