15:1 We who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak and not please ourselves.
Romans
15:2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.
Romans
15:3 For even the Messiah did not please Himself. But as it is written, “The insults of those who insulted You fell on Me.”
Romans
15:4 For whatever was previously written was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Romans
15:5 Now may the Elohim of perseverance and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another in accordance with the MessiahYASHUWAH,
Romans
15:6 so that together you may with one voice glorify the Elohim and Father of our MasterYASHUWAH the Messiah.
Romans
15:7 Therefore welcome one another, just as the Messiah also welcomed us, for the glory of Elohim.
Romans
15:8 Now I say that YASHUWAH the Messiah has become a servant to the circumcised on behalf of the truth of Elohim, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,
Romans
15:9 and that the Gentiles might glorify Elohim for His mercy, as it is written:
“For this reason I will acknowledge You among the Gentiles,
and I will sing praises to Your name.”
Romans
15:10 He also says:
“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!”
Romans
15:11 And again:
“Praise YASHUWAH, all you Gentiles;
let all the peoples praise Him.”
Romans
15:12 And again Isaiah says:
“There shall be a root of Jesse;
He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles,
in Him shall the Gentiles hope.”
Romans
15:13 Now may the Elohim of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans
15:14 Now I myself am persuaded concerning you, my brothers, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and also able to instruct one another.
Romans
15:15 Nevertheless, brothers, I have written even more boldly to you on some points, to remind you, because of the grace that is given to me from Elohim,
Romans
15:16 that I might be a minister of YASHUWAH the Messiah to the Gentiles, in the priestly service of the gospel of Elohim, so that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
Romans
15:17 In the MessiahYASHUWAH therefore I have reason to boast in my service to Elohim.
Romans
15:18 For I will not dare to speak of anything except what the Messiah has accomplished through me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
Romans
15:19 by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of Elohim, so that from Jerusalem and as far around as Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of the Messiah.
Romans
15:20 So I have strived to preach the gospel, not where the Messiah was named, so that I should not build on another man's foundation.
Romans
15:21 But as it is written:
“To whom He was not announced, they shall see;
and those who have not heard shall understand.”
Romans
15:22 For this reason also I was often hindered from coming to you.
Romans
15:23 But now, no longer having a place in these regions, and having a great desire for many years to come to you,
Romans
15:24 whenever I go to Spain, I shall come to you, for I hope to see you when I pass through and to be helped on my way there by you, when I have first enjoyed your company for a little while.
Romans
15:25 But now I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.
Romans
15:26 For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem.
Romans
15:27 It has pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, they also ought to minister to them in material things.
Romans
15:28 Therefore, when I have completed this and have given this blessing to them, I shall come by way of you to Spain,
Romans
15:29 and I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of the Messiah.
Romans
15:30 Now I ask you, brothers, through the MasterYASHUWAH the Messiah and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to Elohim on my behalf,
Romans
15:31 that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my ministry for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
Romans
15:32 so that I may come to you with joy by the will of Elohim, and may be refreshed together with you.
Romans
15:33 Now the Elohim of peace be with you all. Amen.
