15 Мы, сильные в вере, должны быть снисходительны к ошибкам слабых и не искать своей личной выгоды. Каждый из нас должен угождать своему ближнему, заботясь о том, что служит к его благу и духовному росту. Масех тоже не Самому Себе угождал, но, как написано: «Оскорбления тех, кто злословит Тебя, пали на Меня»[a]. Ведь всё Писание было дано с целью научить нас, чтобы благодаря терпению и ободрению, получаемому из Писания, мы имели надежду.

Пусть же Всевышний, Который даёт терпение и ободрение, даст вам жить в согласии друг с другом, как и подобает последователям Исо Масеха, чтобы вы единодушно и едиными устами прославляли Бога и Отца нашего Повелителя Исо Масеха.

Исо пришёл и для иудеев, и для других народов

Ради прославления Всевышнего принимайте друг друга, как и Масех принял вас. Я говорю вам, что Масех стал слугой обрезанных, чтобы явить верность Всевышнего, подтвердив те обещания, которые Всевышний дал праотцам, а так же для того, чтобы и другие народы могли прославить Всевышнего за Его милость, как написано:

«За это я буду славить Тебя среди других народов,
    имени Твоему воспою я хвалу»[b].

10 И ещё написано:

«Радуйтесь, язычники, вместе с Его народом!»[c]

11 И ещё:

«Славьте Вечного, все язычники!
    Хвалите Его, все народы!»[d]

12 Исаия также говорит:

«Придёт Корень[e] Есея
    и поднимется, чтобы править народами,
и язычники будут надеяться на Него»[f].

13 Пусть же Всевышний, источник всякой надежды, через вашу веру наполнит вас радостью и миром, чтобы вам в силе Святого Духа изобиловать надеждой.

Павлус – служитель Исо Масеха для язычников

14 Братья мои, я убеждён в том, что вы полны добра, исполнены знаний и можете учить друг друга. 15 Тем не менее, в этом письме я смело напоминаю вам о некоторых вещах, потому что Всевышний по Своей благодати поручил мне 16 быть служителем Исо Масеха для язычников. И я тружусь как священнослужитель, возвещая Радостную Весть Всевышнего, чтобы принести Ему обращённых из язычников, словно освящённую Святым Духом жертву, которая приятна Всевышнему.

17 Итак, я могу хвалиться своим служением Всевышнему через Исо Масеха. 18 Я смею говорить только о том, что Масех совершил через меня, чтобы привести язычников к повиновению Всевышнему. Он совершил это словом и делом, 19 силой знамений и чудес, силой Духа Всевышнего, так что я исполнил это служение: возвещать Радостную Весть о Масехе от Иерусалима и вплоть до Иллирика[g]. 20 Моим стремлением всегда было возвещать Радостную Весть там, где ещё не знают о Масехе, чтобы мне не строить на чужом фундаменте, 21 но исполнить написанное:

«Те, кому не было сказано о Нём, увидят,
    и те, кто не слышал, поймут»[h].

22 И это моё служение было причиной того, что я, хотя и собирался много раз, не смог прийти к вам.

Планы Павлуса посетить Рим

23 Теперь же я закончил свой труд в этих краях, и так как я уже много лет хотел прийти к вам, 24 то намерен сделать это, когда отправлюсь в Испанию. Я надеюсь, что навещу вас по дороге туда, и вы поможете мне, чтобы я смог идти дальше, как только хоть немного наслажусь вашим обществом. 25 Сейчас же я отправляюсь в Иерусалим для служения живущим там братьям, 26 потому что общины Македонии и Охоии[i] решили провести сбор пожертвований для бедных из числа верующих, живущих в Иерусалиме. 27 Они сами решили это сделать, ведь они и в самом деле в долгу перед ними. Как иудеи, верующие в Исо, поделились с ними своими духовными благословениями, так и они, в свою очередь, должны поделиться с иудеями своими материальными благами. 28 После того как я выполню это поручение и передам им собранное, я намерен отправиться в Испанию и по пути навестить вас. 29 Я уверен, что, когда приду к вам, Масех благословит вас в полной мере.

30 Умоляю вас, братья, ради Повелителя нашего Исо Масеха и ради любви Духа, присоединиться к моей усердной молитве к Всевышнему обо мне. 31 Молитесь о том, чтобы в Иудее неверующие не причинили мне вреда, и чтобы братья в Иерусалиме приняли моё служение. 32 Тогда я смогу прийти к вам с радостью, и мы сможем вместе отдохнуть, если на то будет воля Всевышнего[j]. 33 Пусть Всевышний, дающий нам мир, будет со всеми вами, аминь.

The Example of Christ

15 (A)We who are strong (B)have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. (C)Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. For (D)Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, (E)“The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.” For (F)whatever was written in former days was written for our (G)instruction, that through endurance and through (H)the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you (I)to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify (J)the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.

Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles

For I tell you that Christ (K)became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order (L)to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, and in order (M)that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,

(N)“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
    and sing to your name.”

10 And again it says,

(O)“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”

11 And again,

(P)“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
    and let all the peoples extol him.”

12 And again Isaiah says,

(Q)(R)“The root of Jesse will come,
    even he who arises to rule the Gentiles;
(S)in him will the Gentiles hope.”

13 May the God of hope fill you with all (T)joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Paul the Minister to the Gentiles

14 (U)I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers,[a] that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with (V)all knowledge and able to instruct one another. 15 But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, (W)because of the grace given me by God 16 to be (X)a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles (Y)in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that (Z)the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 In Christ Jesus, then, I have (AA)reason to be proud of (AB)my work for God. 18 For I will not venture to speak of anything except (AC)what Christ has accomplished through me (AD)to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed, 19 (AE)by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God—so that (AF)from Jerusalem and all the way around (AG)to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ; 20 and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, (AH)lest I build on someone else's foundation, 21 but as it is written,

(AI)“Those who have never been told of him will see,
    and those who have never heard will understand.”

Paul's Plan to Visit Rome

22 This is the reason why (AJ)I have so often been hindered from coming to you. 23 But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and (AK)since I have longed for many years to come to you, 24 I hope to see you in passing as I go (AL)to Spain, and (AM)to be helped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 At present, however, (AN)I am going to Jerusalem bringing aid to the saints. 26 For (AO)Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem. 27 For they were pleased to do it, and indeed (AP)they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings. 28 When therefore I have completed this and have delivered to them what has been collected,[b] I will leave (AQ)for Spain by way of you. 29 I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of the blessing[c] of Christ.

30 I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by (AR)the love of the Spirit, (AS)to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf, 31 (AT)that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that (AU)my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, 32 so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and (AV)be refreshed in your company. 33 May (AW)the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

  3. Romans 15:29 Some manuscripts insert of the gospel

15 We who are strong in faith should help those who are weak. We should help them with their weaknesses, and not please only ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to help him be stronger in faith. Even Christ did not live to please himself. It was as the Scriptures said: “When people insult you, it hurts me.”[a] Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that we could have hope. That hope comes from the patience and encouragement that the Scriptures give us. Patience and encouragement come from God. And I pray that God will help you all agree with each other the way Christ Jesus wants. Then you will all be joined together, and you will give glory to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Christ accepted you, so you should accept each other. This will bring glory to God. I tell you that Christ became a servant of the Jews. This was to show that God’s promises to the Jewish ancestors are true. And he also did this so that the non-Jews could give glory to God for the mercy he gives to them. It is written in the Scriptures:

“So I will praise you among the non-Jewish people.
    I will sing praises to your name.” Psalm 18:49

10 The Scripture also says,

“Be happy, you non-Jews, together with God’s people.” Deuteronomy 32:43

11 Again the Scripture says,

“All you non-Jews, praise the Lord.
    All you people, sing praises to him.” Psalm 117:1

12 And Isaiah says,

“A new king will come from Jesse’s family.[b]
    He will come to rule over the non-Jews;
and the non-Jews will have hope because of him.” Isaiah 11:10

13 I pray that the God who gives hope will fill you with much joy and peace while you trust in him. Then your hope will overflow by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Paul Talks About His Work

14 My brothers, I am sure that you are full of goodness. I know that you have all the knowledge you need and that you are able to teach each other. 15 But I have written to you very openly about some things that I wanted you to remember. I did this because God gave me this special gift: 16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the non-Jewish people. I served God by teaching his Good News, so that the non-Jewish people could be an offering that God would accept—an offering made holy by the Holy Spirit.

17 So I am proud of what I have done for God in Christ Jesus. 18 I will not talk about anything I did myself. I will talk only about what Christ has done through me in leading the non-Jewish people to obey God. They have obeyed God because of what I have said and done. 19 And they have obeyed God because of the power of miracles and the great things they saw, and the power of the Holy Spirit. I preached the Good News from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum. And so I have finished that part of my work. 20 I always want to preach the Good News in places where people have never heard of Christ. I do this because I do not want to build on the work that someone else has already started. 21 But it is written in the Scriptures:

“Those who were not told about him will see,
    and those who have not heard about him will understand.” Isaiah 52:15

Paul’s Plan to Visit Rome

22 That is why many times I was stopped from coming to you. 23 Now I have finished my work here. Since for many years I have wanted to come to you, 24 I hope to visit you on my way to Spain. I will enjoy being with you, and you can help me on my trip. 25 Now I am going to Jerusalem to help God’s people. 26 The believers in Macedonia and Southern Greece were happy to give their money to help the poor among God’s people at Jerusalem. 27 They were happy to do this, and really they owe it to them. These non-Jews have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings. So they should use their material possessions to help the Jews. 28 I must be sure that the poor in Jerusalem get the money that has been given for them. After I do this, I will leave for Spain and stop and visit you. 29 I know that when I come to you, I will bring Christ’s full blessing.

30 Brothers, I beg you to help me in my work by praying for me to God. Do this because of our Lord Jesus and the love that the Holy Spirit gives us. 31 Pray that I will be saved from the non-believers in Judea. And pray that this help I bring to Jerusalem will please God’s people there. 32 Then, if God wants me to, I will come to you. I will come with joy, and together you and I will have a time of rest. 33 The God who gives peace be with you all. Amen.

  2. 15:12 Jesse’s family Jesse was the father of David, king of Israel. Jesus was from their family.

15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak(A) and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good,(B) to build them up.(C) For even Christ did not please himself(D) but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”[a](E) For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us,(F) so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind(G) toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify(H) the God and Father(I) of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Accept one another,(J) then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews[b](K) on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises(L) made to the patriarchs might be confirmed and, moreover, that the Gentiles(M) might glorify God(N) for his mercy. As it is written:

“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
    I will sing the praises of your name.”[c](O)

10 Again, it says,

“Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”[d](P)

11 And again,

“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;
    let all the peoples extol him.”[e](Q)

12 And again, Isaiah says,

“The Root of Jesse(R) will spring up,
    one who will arise to rule over the nations;
    in him the Gentiles will hope.”[f](S)

13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace(T) as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.(U)

Paul the Minister to the Gentiles

14 I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness,(V) filled with knowledge(W) and competent to instruct one another. 15 Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me(X) 16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles.(Y) He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God,(Z) so that the Gentiles might become an offering(AA) acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

17 Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus(AB) in my service to God.(AC) 18 I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles(AD) to obey God(AE) by what I have said and done— 19 by the power of signs and wonders,(AF) through the power of the Spirit of God.(AG) So from Jerusalem(AH) all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.(AI) 20 It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel(AJ) where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.(AK) 21 Rather, as it is written:

“Those who were not told about him will see,
    and those who have not heard will understand.”[g](AL)

22 This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.(AM)

Paul’s Plan to Visit Rome

23 But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to visit you,(AN) 24 I plan to do so when I go to Spain.(AO) I hope to see you while passing through and to have you assist(AP) me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem(AQ) in the service(AR) of the Lord’s people(AS) there. 26 For Macedonia(AT) and Achaia(AU) were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem.(AV) 27 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.(AW) 28 So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this contribution, I will go to Spain(AX) and visit you on the way. 29 I know that when I come to you,(AY) I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.

30 I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit,(AZ) to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.(BA) 31 Pray that I may be kept safe(BB) from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution(BC) I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord’s people(BD) there, 32 so that I may come to you(BE) with joy, by God’s will,(BF) and in your company be refreshed.(BG) 33 The God of peace(BH) be with you all. Amen.
