不求自己的喜悦，要叫邻舍喜悦

1我们坚固的人应该担代不坚固人的软弱，不求自己的喜悦。

2我们各人务要叫邻舍喜悦，使他得益处，建立德行。

3因为基督也不求自己的喜悦，如经上所记：「辱骂你人的辱骂都落在我身上。」

4从前所写的圣经都是为教训我们写的，叫我们因圣经所生的忍耐和安慰可以得着盼望。

5但愿赐忍耐安慰的 神叫你们彼此同心，效法基督耶稣，

6一心一口荣耀 神—我们主耶稣基督的父！

神的福音一视同仁

7所以，你们要彼此接纳，如同基督接纳你们一样，使荣耀归与 神。

8我说，基督是为 神真理作了受割礼人的执事，要证实所应许列祖的话，

9并叫外邦人因他的怜悯荣耀 神。如经上所记：因此，我要在外邦中称赞你， 歌颂你的名；

10又说：你们外邦人当与主的百姓一同欢乐；

11又说：外邦啊，你们当赞美主！ 万民哪，你们都当颂赞他！

12又有以赛亚说：将来有耶西的根， 就是那兴起来要治理外邦的； 外邦人要仰望他。

13但愿使人有盼望的 神，因信将诸般的喜乐、平安充满你们的心，使你们借着圣灵的能力大有盼望！

保罗的宣教使命

14弟兄们，我自己也深信你们是满有良善，充足了诸般的知识，也能彼此劝戒。

15但我稍微放胆写信给你们，是要提醒你们的记性，特因 神所给我的恩典，

16使我为外邦人作基督耶稣的仆役，作 神福音的祭司，叫所献上的外邦人，因着圣灵成为圣洁，可蒙悦纳。

17所以论到 神的事，我在基督耶稣里有可夸的。

18除了基督借我做的那些事，我什么都不敢提，只提他借我言语作为，用神迹奇事的能力，并圣灵的能力，使外邦人顺服；

19甚至我从耶路撒冷，直转到以利哩古，到处传了基督的福音。

20我立了志向，不在基督的名被称过的地方传福音，免得建造在别人的根基上。

21就如经上所记：未曾闻知他信息的，将要看见； 未曾听过的，将要明白。

保罗计划访问罗马

22我因多次被拦阻，总不得到你们那里去。

23但如今，在这里再没有可传的地方，而且这好几年，我切心想望到西班牙去的时候，可以到你们那里，

24盼望从你们那里经过，得见你们，先与你们彼此交往，心里稍微满足，然后蒙你们送行。

25但现在，我往耶路撒冷去供给圣徒。

26因为马其顿和亚该亚人乐意凑出捐项给耶路撒冷圣徒中的穷人。

27这固然是他们乐意的，其实也算是所欠的债；因外邦人既然在他们属灵的好处上有分，就当把养身之物供给他们。

28等我办完了这事，把这善果向他们交付明白，我就要路过你们那里，往西班牙去。

29我也晓得，去的时候必带着基督丰盛的恩典而去。

30弟兄们，我借着我们主耶稣基督，又借着圣灵的爱，劝你们与我一同竭力，为我祈求 神，

31叫我脱离在犹太不顺从的人，也叫我为耶路撒冷所办的捐项可蒙圣徒悦纳，

32并叫我顺着 神的旨意，欢欢喜喜地到你们那里，与你们同得安息。

33愿赐平安的 神常和你们众人同在。阿们！

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

2Let every one of you please his neighbour unto good, to edification.

3For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written: The reproaches of them that reproached thee, fell upon me.

4For what things soever were written, were written for our learning: that through patience and the comfort of the scriptures, we might have hope.

5Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of one mind one towards another, according to Jesus Christ:

6That with one mind, and with one mouth, you may glorify God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7Wherefore receive one another, as Christ also hath received you unto the honour of God.

8For I say that Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.

9But that the Gentiles are to glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and will sing to thy name.

10And again he saith: Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.

11And again: Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and magnify him, all ye people.

12And again Isaias saith: There shall be a root of Jesse; and he that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in him the Gentiles shall hope.

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

14And I myself also, my brethren, am assured of you, that you also are full of love, replenished with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish one another.

15But I have written to you, brethren, more boldly in some sort, as it were putting you in mind: because of the grace which is given me from God.

16That I should be the minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles; sanctifying the gospel of God, that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and sanctified in the Holy Ghost.

17I have therefore glory in Christ Jesus towards God.

18For I dare not to speak of any of those things which Christ worketh not by me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

19By the virtue of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Ghost, so that from Jerusalem round about as far as unto Illyricum, I have replenished the gospel of Christ.

20And I have so preached this gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation.

21But as it is written: They to whom he was not spoken of, shall see, and they that have not heard shall understand.

22For which cause also I was hindered very much from coming to you, and have been kept away till now.

23But now having no more place in these countries, and having a great desire these many years past to come unto you,

24When I shall begin to take my journey into Spain, I hope that as I pass, I shall see you, and be brought on my way thither by you, if first, in part, I shall have enjoyed you:

25But now I shall go to Jerusalem, to minister unto the saints.

26For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a contribution for the poor of the saints that are in Jerusalem.

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

28When therefore I shall have accomplished this, and consigned to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.

29And I know, that when I come to you, I shall come in the abundance of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

30I beseech you therefore, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the charity of the Holy Ghost, that you help me in your prayers for me to God,

31That I may be delivered from the unbelievers that are in Judea, and that the oblation of my service may be acceptable in Jerusalem to the saints.

32That I may come to you with joy, by the will of God, and may be refreshed with you.

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