Romans 15:1-13

Today’s Scripture:

We who are strong must be considerate of those who are sensitive about things like this. We must not just please ourselves. 2 We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord. 3 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.”[a] 4 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.

5 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. 6 Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory. 8 Remember that Christ came as a servant to the Jews[b] to show that God is true to the promises he made to their ancestors. 9 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.”[c]

10 And in another place it is written,

“Rejoice with his people,    you Gentiles.”[d]

11 And yet again,

“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles.    Praise him, all you people of the earth.”[e]

12 And in another place Isaiah said,

“The heir to David’s throne[f] will come,    and he will rule over the Gentiles.They will place their hope on him.”[g]

13 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.
