1If our faith is strong, we should be patient with the Lord's followers whose faith is weak. We should try to please them instead of ourselves.

2We should think of their good and try to help them by doing what pleases them.

3Even Christ did not try to please himself. But as the Scriptures say, "The people who insulted you also insulted me."

4And the Scriptures were written to teach and encourage us by giving us hope.

5God is the one who makes us patient and cheerful. I pray that he will help you live at peace with each other, as you follow Christ.

6Then all of you together will praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7Honor God by accepting each other, as Christ has accepted you.

8I tell you that Christ came as a servant of the Jews to show that God has kept the promises he made to their famous ancestors. Christ also came,

9so that the Gentiles would praise God for being kind to them. It is just as the Scriptures say, "I will tell the nations about you, and I will sing praises to your name."

10The Scriptures also say to the Gentiles, "Come and celebrate with God's people."

11Again the Scriptures say, "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles. All you nations, come and worship him."

12Isaiah says, "Someone from David's family will come to power. He will rule the nations, and they will put their hope in him."

13I pray that God, who gives hope, will bless you with complete happiness and peace because of your faith. And may the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with hope.

14My friends, I am sure that you are very good and that you have all the knowledge you need to teach each other.

15But I have spoken to you plainly and have tried to remind you of some things. God was so kind to me!

16He chose me to be a servant of Christ Jesus for the Gentiles and to do the work of a priest in the service of his good news. God did this so that the Holy Spirit could make the Gentiles into a holy offering, pleasing to him.

17Because of Christ Jesus, I can take pride in my service for God.

18In fact, all I will talk about is how Christ let me speak and work, so that the Gentiles would obey him.

19Indeed, I will tell how Christ worked miracles and wonders by the power of the Holy Spirit. I have preached the good news about him all the way from Jerusalem to Illyricum.

20But I have always tried to preach where people have never heard about Christ. I am like a builder who doesn't build on anyone else's foundation.

21It is just as the Scriptures say, "All who haven't been told about him will see him, and those who haven't heard about him will understand."

22My work has always kept me from coming to see you.

23Now there is nothing left for me to do in this part of the world, and for years I have wanted to visit you.

24So I plan to stop off on my way to Spain. Then after a short, but refreshing, visit with you, I hope you will quickly send me on.

25I am now on my way to Jerusalem to deliver the money that the Lord's followers in Macedonia and Achaia collected for God's needy people.

26(15:25)

27This is something they really wanted to do. But sharing their money with the Jews was also like paying back a debt, because the Jews had already shared their spiritual blessings with the Gentiles.

28After I have safely delivered this money, I will visit you and then go on to Spain.

29And when I do arrive in Rome, I know it will be with the full blessings of Christ.

30My friends, by the power of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the love that comes from the Holy Spirit, I beg you to pray sincerely with me and for me.

31Pray that God will protect me from the unbelievers in Judea, and that his people in Jerusalem will be pleased with what I am doing.

32Ask God to let me come to you and have a pleasant and refreshing visit.

33I pray that God, who gives peace, will be with all of you. Amen.
