“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.”— Romans 15:4 (LSV)
1And we ought—we who are strong—to bear the weaknesses of the powerless, and not to please ourselves;
2for let each one of us please the neighbor for good, for edification,
3for even the Christ did not please Himself, but according as it has been written: “The reproaches of those reproaching You fell on Me”;
4for 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.
5And 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,
6that with one accord—with one mouth—you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;
7for this reason receive one another, according as also the Christ received us, to the glory of God.
