Romans 15 (ASV Interlinear Bible)

1Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

2Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, unto edifying.

3For Christ also pleased not himself; but, as it is written,

Ps. 69:9.

5Now the God of

8For I say that Christ hath been made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given unto the fathers,

13Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

14And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

15But I write the more boldly unto you in some measure, as putting you again in remembrance, because of the grace that was given me of God,

21but, as it is written,

⁎

Isa. 52:15.

They shall see, to whom no tidings of him came,

And they who have not heard shall understand.

22Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you:

23but now, having no more any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come unto you,

24whensoever I go unto Spain (for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)—

25but now, I say, I go unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints.

26For it hath been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints that are at Jerusalem.

27Yea, it hath been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to minister unto them in carnal things.

28When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by you unto Spain.

29And I know that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ.

30Now I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

31that I may be delivered from them that are disobedient in Judaea, and that my ministration which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;

32that I may come unto you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest.

33Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
