WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 До́лжни є҆смы̀ мы̀ си́льнїи не́мѡщи немощны́хъ носи́ти, и҆ не себѣ̀ ᲂу҆гожда́ти:
1 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 кі́иждо же ва́съ бли́жнемꙋ да ᲂу҆гожда́етъ во бл҃го́е къ созида́нїю.
2 Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.
3 И҆́бо и҆ хрⷭ҇то́съ не себѣ̀ ᲂу҆годѝ, но ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пи́сано: поношє́нїѧ поносѧ́щихъ тебѣ̀ нападо́ша на мѧ̀.
3 For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”
4 Є҆ли̑ка бо преднапи̑сана бы́ша, въ на́ше наказа́нїе преднаписа́шасѧ, да терпѣ́нїемъ и҆ ᲂу҆тѣше́нїемъ писа́нїй ᲂу҆пова́нїе и҆́мамы.
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 Бг҃ъ же терпѣ́нїѧ и҆ ᲂу҆тѣше́нїѧ да да́стъ ва́мъ то́жде мꙋ́дрствовати дрꙋ́гъ ко дрꙋ́гꙋ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ,
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 да є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ є҆ди́ными ᲂу҆сты̑ сла́вите бг҃а и҆ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀.
6 that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Тѣ́мже прїе́млите дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ хрⷭ҇то́съ прїѧ́тъ ва́съ во сла́вꙋ бж҃їю.
7 Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God.
8 Глаго́лю же хрⷭ҇та̀ і҆и҃са слꙋжи́телѧ бы́вша ѡ҆брѣ́занїѧ по и҆́стинѣ бж҃їей, во є҆́же ᲂу҆тверди́ти ѡ҆бѣтова̑нїѧ ѻ҆тцє́въ:
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 а҆ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ по млⷭ҇ти, просла́вити бг҃а, ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пи́сано: сегѡ̀ ра́ди и҆сповѣ́мсѧ тебѣ̀ во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ, гдⷭ҇и, и҆ и҆́мени твоемꙋ̀ пою̀.
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 И҆ па́ки глаго́летъ: возвесели́тесѧ, ꙗ҆зы́цы, съ людьмѝ є҆гѡ̀.
10 Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
11 И҆ па́ки: хвали́те гдⷭ҇а, всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы, и҆ похвали́те є҆го̀, всѝ лю́дїе.
11 Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”
12 И҆ па́ки и҆са́їа глаго́летъ: бꙋ́детъ ко́рень і҆ессе́овъ, и҆ востаѧ́й владѣ́ти над̾ ꙗ҆зы́ки: на того̀ ꙗ҆зы́цы ᲂу҆пова́ютъ.
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 Бг҃ъ же ᲂу҆пова́нїѧ да и҆спо́лнитъ ва́съ всѧ́кїѧ ра́дости и҆ ми́ра въ вѣ́рѣ, и҆збы́точествовати ва́мъ во ᲂу҆пова́нїи, си́лою дх҃а ст҃а́гѡ.
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 И҆звѣще́нъ же є҆́смь, бра́тїе моѧ̑, и҆ са́мъ а҆́зъ ѡ҆ ва́съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ са́ми вы̀ по́лни є҆стѐ бл҃гости, и҆спо́лнени всѧ́кагѡ ра́зꙋма, могꙋ́ще и҆ и҆ны̑ѧ наꙋчи́ти:
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 де́рзѣе же писа́хъ ва́мъ, бра́тїе моѧ̑, ѿ ча́сти, ꙗ҆́кѡ воспомина́ѧ ва́мъ, за блгⷣть да́ннꙋю мѝ ѿ бг҃а,
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 во є҆́же бы́ти мѝ слꙋжи́телю і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́вꙋ во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ, свѧщеннодѣ́йствꙋющꙋ бл҃говѣствова́нїе бж҃їе, да бꙋ́детъ приноше́нїе є҆́же ѿ ꙗ҆зы̑къ бл҃гопрїѧ́тно и҆ ѡ҆сщ҃е́нно дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ.
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 И҆́мамъ ᲂу҆̀бо похвалꙋ̀ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ въ тѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же къ бг҃ꙋ:
17 I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.
18 не смѣ́ю бо глаго́лати что̀, и҆́хже не содѣ́ѧ хрⷭ҇то́съ мно́ю, въ послꙋша́нїе ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ, сло́вомъ и҆ дѣ́ломъ,
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 въ си́лѣ зна́менїй и҆ чꙋде́съ, си́лою дх҃а бж҃їѧ, ꙗ҆́коже мѝ ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма и҆ ѡ҆́крестъ да́же до і҆ллѷрі́ка и҆спо́лнити бл҃говѣствова́нїе хрⷭ҇то́во.
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 Си́це же потща́хсѧ благовѣсти́ти, не и҆дѣ́же и҆менова́сѧ хрⷭ҇то́съ, да не на чꙋже́мъ ѡ҆снова́нїи сози́ждꙋ,
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 но ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пи́сано: и҆̀мже не возвѣсти́сѧ ѡ҆ не́мъ, ᲂу҆́зрѧтъ, и҆ и҆̀же не слы́шаша, ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ютъ.
21 But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven’t heard will understand.”
22 Тѣ́мже и҆ возбране́нъ бы́хъ мно́гажды прїитѝ къ ва́мъ.
22 Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,
23 Нн҃ѣ же ктомꙋ̀ мѣ́ста не и҆мы́й въ страна́хъ си́хъ, жела́нїе же и҆мы́й прїитѝ къ ва́мъ ѿ мно́гихъ лѣ́тъ,
23 but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,
24 ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще поидꙋ̀ во і҆спа́нїю, прїидꙋ̀ къ ва́мъ. Оу҆пова́ю бо мимогрѧды́й ви́дѣти ва́съ и҆ ва́ми проводи́тисѧ та́мѡ, а҆́ще ва́съ пре́жде ѿ ча́сти насы́щꙋсѧ.
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 Нн҃ѣ же грѧдꙋ̀ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, слꙋжѧ́й ст҃ы̑мъ,
25 But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.
26 благоволи́ша бо македо́нїа и҆ а҆ха́їа ѻ҆бще́нїе нѣ́кое сотвори́ти къ ни́щымъ ст҃ы̑мъ живꙋ́щымъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ.
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 Благоволи́ша бо, и҆ до́лжни и҆̀мъ сꙋ́ть. А҆́ще бо въ дꙋхо́вныхъ и҆́хъ прича̑стницы бы́ша ꙗ҆зы́цы, до́лжни сꙋ́ть и҆ въ плотски́хъ послꙋжи́ти и҆̀мъ.
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 Сїѐ ᲂу҆̀бо сконча́въ, и҆ запечатлѣ́въ и҆̀мъ пло́дъ се́й, поидꙋ̀ ва́ми во і҆спа́нїю:
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 вѣ́мъ же, ꙗ҆́кѡ грѧды́й къ ва́мъ, во и҆сполне́нїи бл҃гослове́нїѧ бл҃говѣ́стїѧ хрⷭ҇то́ва прїидꙋ̀.
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 Молю́ же вы̀, бра́тїе, гдⷭ҇емъ на́шимъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́мъ и҆ любо́вїю дх҃а, споспѣ́шствꙋйте мѝ въ моли́твахъ ѡ҆ мнѣ̀ къ бг҃ꙋ,
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 да и҆зба́влюсѧ ѿ противлѧ́ющихсѧ во і҆ꙋде́и, и҆ да слꙋ́жба моѧ̀, ꙗ҆́же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, благопрїѧ́тна бꙋ́детъ ст҃ы̑мъ:
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 да съ ра́достїю прїидꙋ̀ къ ва́мъ во́лею бж҃їею и҆ ᲂу҆поко́юсѧ съ ва́ми.
32 that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.
33 Бг҃ъ же ми́ра со всѣ́ми ва́ми. А҆ми́нь.
33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 15:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Romans (Homily XXVIII)

    Again, he is speaking of Christ's concern for us, still holding to the same topic, and showing what great things He hath done for us, and how "He pleased not Himself." (Rom. xv. 3.) And besides this, there is another point which he makes good, that those of the Gentiles are debtors to a larger amount unto God.

  2. Quotes verse 15:1 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XXVI)

    because the Church of Christ hath both strong and weak ones; and cannot be without either strong or weak; whence the Apostle Paul says, "Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak." In that Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God," he represents the strong: but in that he totters, …

    … which was produced after the ascension, manifests His equality with the Father; thus saying, "The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit Thou on my right hand." And Isaiah too saith, "He that riseth up to rule over the Gentiles, in Him shall the Gentiles trust." But how saith he that Bethlehem is "not the least among the princes of Judah?" …
