Romans 15 (WEBP)

[1] Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
[2] Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.
[3] For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”
[4] For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
[5] Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,
[6] that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
[7] Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God.
[8] Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,
[9] and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles and sing to your name.”
[10] Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
[11] Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”
[12] Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.”
[13] Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.
[14] I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.
[15] But I write the more boldly to you in part as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,
[16] that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
[17] I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.
[18] For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
[19] in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ;
[20] yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.
[21] But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven’t heard will understand.”
[22] Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,
[23] but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,
[24] whenever I travel to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.
[25] But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.
[26] For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.
[27] Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in material things.
[28] When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.
[29] I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.
[30] Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,
[31] that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
[32] that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.
[33] Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Romans 15 (KJVS)

[1] We then that are strong ought () to bear () the infirmities of the weak , and not to please () ourselves .
[2] Let every one of us please () [his] neighbour for [his] good to edification .
[3] For even Christ pleased () not himself ; but , as it is written (), The reproaches of them that reproached () thee fell () on me .
[4] For whatsoever things were written aforetime () were written () for our learning , that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have () hope .
[5] Now the God of patience and consolation grant () you to be likeminded () one toward another according to Christ Jesus :
[6] That ye may with one mind [and] one mouth glorify () God , even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ .
[7] Wherefore receive ye () one another , as Christ also received () us to the glory of God .
[8] Now I say () that Jesus Christ was () a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God , to confirm () the promises [made] unto the fathers :
[9] And that the Gentiles might glorify () God for [his] mercy ; as it is written (), For this cause I will confess () to thee among the Gentiles , and sing () unto thy name .
[10] And again he saith (), Rejoice, ye () Gentiles , with his people .
[11] And again , Praise the Lord , all ye () Gentiles ; and laud () him , all ye people .
[12] And again , Esaias saith (), There shall be () a root of Jesse , and he that shall rise () to reign over () the Gentiles ; in him shall the Gentiles trust ().
[13] Now the God of hope fill () you with all joy and peace in believing (), that ye may abound () in hope , through the power of the Holy Ghost .
[14] And I myself also am persuaded () of you , my brethren , that ye also are () full of goodness , filled () with all knowledge , able () also to admonish () one another .
[15] Nevertheless , brethren , I have written () the more boldly unto you in some sort , as putting you in mind (), because of the grace that is given () to me of God ,
[16] That I should be () the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles , ministering () the gospel of God , that the offering up of the Gentiles might be () acceptable , being sanctified () by the Holy Ghost .
[17] I have () therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God .
[18] For I will not dare () to speak () of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought () by me , to make the Gentiles obedient , by word and deed ,
[19] Through mighty signs and wonders , by the power of the Spirit of God ; so that from Jerusalem , and round about unto Illyricum , I have fully preached () the gospel of Christ .
[20] Yea , so have I strived () to preach the gospel (), not where Christ was named (), lest I should build () upon another man’s foundation :

[25] But now I go () unto Jerusalem to minister () unto the saints .
[26] For it hath pleased them () of Macedonia and Achaia to make () a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem .
[27] It hath pleased them () verily ; and their debtors they are (). For if the Gentiles have been made partakers () of their spiritual things , their duty is () also to minister () unto them in carnal things .

Young’s Literal Translation

Romans 15 (YLT)

[1] And we ought-we who are strong-to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves;
[2] for let each one of us please the neighbour for good, unto edification,
[3] for even the Christ did not please himself, but, according as it hath been written, ‘The reproaches of those reproaching Thee fell upon me;’
[4] for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.
[5] And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus;
[6] that with one accord-with one mouth-ye may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;
[7] wherefore receive ye one another, according as also the Christ did receive us, to the glory of God.
[8] And I say Jesus Christ to have become a ministrant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to the fathers,
[9] and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it hath been written, ‘Because of this I will confess to Thee among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,’
[10] and again it saith, ‘Rejoice ye nations, with His people;’
[11] and again, ‘Praise the Lord, all ye nations; and laud Him, all ye peoples;’
[12] and again, Isaiah saith, ‘There shall be the root of Jesse, and he who is rising to rule nations-upon him shall nations hope;’
[13] and the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.
[14] And I am persuaded, my brethren-I myself also-concerning you, that ye yourselves also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also one another to admonish;
[15] and the more boldly I did write to you, brethren, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God,
[16] for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
[17] I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God,
[18] for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,
[19] in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;
[20] and so counting it honour to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named-that upon another’s foundation I might not build-
[21] but according as it hath been written, ‘To whom it was not told concerning him, they shall see; and they who have not heard, shall understand.’
[22] Wherefore, also, I was hindered many times from coming unto you,
[23] and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having a longing to come unto you for many years,
[24] when I may go on to Spain I will come unto you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward thither, if of you first, in part, I shall be filled.
[25] And, now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;
[26] for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who are in Jerusalem;
[27] for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if in their spiritual things the nations did participate, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.
[28] This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain;
[29] and I have known that coming unto you-in the fulness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I shall come.
[30] And I call upon you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me unto God,
[31] that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministration, that is for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the saints;
[32] that in joy I may come unto you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you,
[33] and the God of the peace be with you all. Amen.
