Romans 15:1-2
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
15 1 But[a] we, the strong ones, ought to be carrying[b] the weaknesses of the ones not-strong, and not to be pleasing ourselves.
Be Pleasing Your Neighbor. For Even Christ Didn’t Please Himself, As It Is Written
2 Let each of us be pleasing his neighbor for good, toward [his] edification.

- Romans 15:1 The strong would completely agree with 14:22-23. But Paul wants them to also see this point, which breaks the deadlock.
- Romans 15:1 Or, bearing, bearing with. The strong are not just to tolerate the weak, they are to help them, support them, carry their burden.
Romans 15:1-2
New International Version
15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak(A) and not to please ourselves. 2 Each of us should please our neighbors for their good,(B) to build them up.(C)
