Chapter 15

  1. We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.  (Gal. 6:1-2)
  2. Let each of us please his neighbour for his good, leading to edification.  (1 Cor. 9:22;   1 Cor. 10:24;   1 Cor. 10:33)
  3. For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me."  (Ps. 69:7;   Ps. 69:9)
  4. For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.  (Ps. 119:50)
  5. Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,
  6. that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  (Acts 4:24)
  7. Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.
  8. Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers,  (Matt. 15:24;   2 Cor. 1:20)
  9. and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written:  (John 10:16)
      "For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles,  (2 Sam. 22:50;   Ps. 18:49and sing to Your name."
  10. And again he says:
      "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!"  (Deut. 32:43;   Is. 11:10)
  11. And again:
      "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles!  (Ps. 117:1)
      Laud Him, all you peoples!"
  12. And again, Isaiah says:
      "There shall be a root of Jesse;
      and He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles.
      In Him the Gentiles shall hope."  (Is. 11:1;   Is. 11:10)
  13. Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.  (Rom. 12:12;   Rom. 14:17)
  14. Now I myself am confident, concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.  (1 Cor. 1:5;   1 Cor. 8:1;  1 Cor. 8:7;  1 Cor. 8:10)
