1 Those of us who are spiritually strong ought to support those who are spiritually weak. We shouldn't just please ourselves. 2 We should all encourage others to do what's morally right, building them up. 3 Christ didn't live to please himself, but as Scripture says of him, “The insults of those who abused you have fallen on me.” 4 These Scriptures were written down in the past to help us understand, and to encourage us so that we could wait patiently in hope. 5 May the God who gives patience and encouragement help you to be in full agreement among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, 6 so that you can with one mind and with one voice together glorify God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! 7 So accept one another, just as Christ accepted you, and give God the glory. 8 I maintain that Christ came as a servant to the Jews to show God tells the truth, keeping the promises he made to their forefathers. 9 He also came that foreigners could praise God for his mercy, as Scripture says, “Therefore I will praise you among the foreigners; I will sing praises to your name.” 10 And also: “Foreigners, celebrate with his people!” 11 And again: “All you foreigners, praise the Lord, let all peoples praise him.” 12 And again, Isaiah says, “Jesse's descendant will come to rule the nations, and foreigners will put their hope in him.” 13 May the God of hope completely fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you will overflow with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit! 14 I'm convinced that you, my brothers and sisters, are full of goodness, and that you are filled with every kind of knowledge, so you are well able to teach one another. 15 I've been blunt in the way I have written to you about some of these things, but this is just to remind you. For God gave me grace 16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the foreigners, like a priest sharing God's good news, so that they could become an acceptable offering, made holy by the Holy Spirit. 17 So even though I have something to boast about because of my service for God, 18 (I wouldn't dare talk about any of this except as Christ has done it through me), I have led foreigners to obedience through my teaching and demonstration, 19 through the power of signs and miracles done with the Holy Spirit's power. From Jerusalem all the way over to Illyricum, everywhere I've shared fully the good news of Christ. 20 In fact I was keen to spread the good news in places that hadn't heard the name of Christ, so that I wouldn't be building on what others have done. 21 As Scripture says, “Those who haven't been told the good news will discover him, and those who haven't heard will understand.” 22 That's why I was prevented so many times from coming to see you. 23 But now, as there's nowhere left here to work, and since I've looked forward to visiting you for many years, 24 when I go to Spain I hope to see you when I pass through. Maybe you can give me some help for my journey once we've enjoyed some time together. 25 At the moment I'm on my way to Jerusalem to help the believers there, 26 because the believers in Macedonia and Achaia thought it was a good idea to send a contribution to the poor among the believers in Jerusalem. 27 They were happy to do this because they're in their debt. Now that foreigners are sharing their spiritual benefits, they owe it to the Jewish believers to help them in material things. 28 So once I've done this, and have safely delivered this contribution to them, I'll visit you on my way to Spain. 29 I know that when I come, Christ will give us his full blessing. 30 I want to encourage you, my brothers and sisters through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to join together in praying hard for me. 31 Pray that I may be kept safe from the unbelievers in Judea. Pray that my work in Jerusalem will be welcomed by the believers there. 32 Pray that I will come to you with gladness, as God wills, so we can enjoy one another's company. 33 May the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

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.

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."
